I came to this school 6 years ago. At the time I did not speak any Spanish and my English was questionable to say the least. I can safely say that I am very grateful to BCG for making me the person I am today. For these 6 years, that now seems have flown by way too quickly, BCG became my second home. What I love about BCG the most is its individualistic approach to each student, as cliched as it might sound, the whole school indeed feels like one big family and I already beginning to miss my time here after only 1 month after graduation.

We were sure about wanting to change our life style and live close to the beach. But we were very unsure about changing the school of our 2 girls (6&3 years old). All was uncertain and not all the reviews we had read about BCG made us feel really comfortable. But we decided to take the risk and we can say that we don’t regret it! It is a pleasure to bring/pick up the girls and feel always so warmly welcome by all the staff! The teachers are so professional and truly caring! The children are learning a lot in an integrating environment full of fun and creative activities. The community of families is very friendly and we feel the school truly cares about our opinions! Our girls are very happy! So we are!

As a mother who has been part of the school since the beginning, I can say that it's great to be in an open-minded school that listens to the children and families needs in such a wonderful landscape. I'm glad to be part of a foward-thinking school.

The school is TOP in facilities, organisation, teachers, staff, academics and overall making students happy. The values are very strong and they focus in making our children good citizens of the world, with respect to others, nature and community. In my humble opinion I would like them to improve the sports in general for young children's of primary so they can develop stronger in a sport that they like. Summer camp is amazing experience and this is my son's third year and I will continue to take him there for years to come. Thank you to all the staff in the school and the Principle for making this happening.

Our children started attending BCG this year and we are very happy with our choice so far. Since the first visit, the school facilities have attracted our attention, with lots of green and open space. Now with the opening of their new building, the facilities are even more complete. Despite the large facilities it feels like a small school, where everyone knows each other by name, which contributed to my children quickly feeling welcomed and integrated. The dedication of the teachers with whom we had contact so far is also something we would like to highlight.

Muy contento de la elección que hicimos en su día para la educación de nuestros hijos (hoy, 12 y 14 años). Estamos en el British College of Gavà desde su fundación y a día de hoy puedo decir que el colegio ha cubierto mis expectativas con nota: muy buen ambiente, excelentes instalaciones en un entorno espectacular, buenos profesores (algunos brillantes) y como consecuencia, buen nivel educativo. Y para mi, lo más importante: mis hijos van felices al colegio y están motivados. A día de hoy además contamos con el liderazgo de un Director contrastado que tiene las cosas claras y el colegio sigue mejorando cada día su equipo e instalaciones, siempre atento a las sugerencias de los padres. Felicidades Sr. Valverde.! Cumplió su promesa ...

School with modern and top facilities. What i like the most in the school is the nice atmosphere for the students and the close relation between school and parents. Inclusive school where each single student is considered as an individual and not as a number. Good balance between academic curriculum and values teaching. The teachers team is very professional and always ready to help.

BCG deserves an overall 5 stars in terms of general efficiency and its commitment for the betterment of the school as well as the educational, moral and artistic level of the students. It is a small school yet it has a future towards to be one of the best schools.

We live an expat life and when we decided to look for a school for our children, we considered the academic, sports, the space where the children would have there classes, the outside area to play, extra activities and the community of the school versus the students and the parents. We have four children enrolled from reception, primary and secondary and I love to see how the children learn with motivation, the fact that everyone knows each other, the teachers know the students by name even if they don't teach them. I am very pleased with the new principle. The schools premises have increased and offers everything the children need to persue there academic needs. The green, nature, where the school is surrounded is beautiful and gives them a sense of nature and freedom. I am very grateful that the school has a motivated staff/ teachers that have been able to give the students an excellent education standard during this covid crisis and the response from the school to this pandemic was quick, efficient and effective.

Hola! Tenemos dos niños (Primary, Secondary) desde la fundación del Colegio. Escoger colegio para nuestros hijos es siempre una difícil decisión. "¿Cuál es el mejor colegio para mis hijos?" No todas las familias buscamos los mismo, y la elección del Colegio debería ser consecuente con el tipo de formación que queremos para ellos. A mi entender, los niños aprenden cuando se sienten felices y motivados. Y mis hijos lo están, y mucho. No es un colegio con muchas líneas, creo que, de hecho, tiene una sola en algunos cursos. Entiendo que es más fácil para un profe conocer bien a sus alumnos cuando son 20 en clase, lo que es una de las ventajas de este colegio respecto a los otros dos colegios internacionales que hay en el mismo área. Yo, personalmente, he descubierto las ventajas de un cole con un número reducido de alumnos. Hay un ambiente más familiar y todos se conocen (profesores, niños, familias...) lo que me asegura que los profes conocen bien a mis hijos. Se trata de un Colegio joven, que no nuevo. Evidentemente, cuando empezó hubo muchas cosas a mejorar y los padres tuvimos que creer en el proyecto. Los inicios nunca son fáciles y hay que realizar muchos ajustes. Eso hizo que algunas familias decidieran cambiar a sus hijos, pero vinieron otras nuevas. Como en todos los colegios internacionales, hay rotación de familias y profesores. Así que no hay la estabilidad de un colegio tradicional, lo que no quiere decir que no haya continuidad. A día de hoy, creo que puedo decir que el colegio ya tiene velocidad de crucero. El colegio se está consolidando rápidamente, porque se ha notado la mano del nuevo Director General y un Director académico estupendo, con objetivos claros. Además, estamos muy ilusionados con las nuevas instalaciones a inaugurar. Además de todo el espacio verde disponible, ahora los peques tendrán polideportivo, comedor y una biblioteca y laboratorio más grandes y mejor acondicionados. Le dijimos adiós a la carpa y los lavabos provisionales que estaban desde los inicios y creo no gustaban a nadie, así que entramos en otra etapa. Este último curso está siendo difícil por la crisis del COVID19 para todos, pero ha sido la prueba definitiva de cómo el colegio se ha consolidado. Se respondió inmediatamente desde el primer minuto y los niños siguieron las clases online de manera estructurada. Esto no se hace de un día para otro y sin un equipo de profesores motivado y con dominio de las herramientas de colaboración. No suelo escribir opiniones en foros, pero a raiz de un amigo que me comentó que había leído opiniones negativas respecto al BCG me decidí a escribir la mía. Espero haber podido ayudarte si la lees. Cuando buscaba cole para nuestros hijos leí muchas y la mayoría no me ayudaron. O bien eran o de padres enfadados por una mala experiencia, o eran opiniones demasiado favorables. Creo que lo mejor es descubrir las cosas por uno mismo, que es, al fin, lo que le digo a mis hijos que hagan.

I highly recommend this school. I have two children in Secondary and we couldn´t be happier. Having read a recent review posted, I have to say I agree with everything it says...and more! The new principal, appointed in February, has already set into motion several new initiatives, both academic and extra-curricular, giving the school a clear and focused direction. GCSE and IB pathways have been put in place to give secondary students guidance from an early age. The teachers are friendly, warm, and communicative with parents and pupils. It has a real family feel about it, where my children feel safe and confident. Sport has always been a strong point at this school, with many of the students playing for regional and national teams, and it continues to be an inspiring part of BCG pupils´ lives within school, as many fixtures were organised against other schools in the region this year. Music has really taken off this year with my children participating in orchestra, instrumental lessons, musical theatre, choir, and rock band. They have loved being able to hang out with other kids with similar interests. The online teaching that has been happening since March is excellent, and second to none in the area. As a parent I have been extremely happy with the way in which the teachers have been so dedicated and inventive in their teaching. The food is excellent and both lunch and morning and afternoon snacks are included in the tuition fees. There is a school bus with an excellent service from Sitges/Sant Pere de Ribes to Barcelona. The grounds are green, adventurous and beautiful and the children have plenty of space and facilities to play football, basketball, volleyball, ping pong and more in their break times. The new building is state of the art, with bright, large spaces, a library, dining hall, auditorium and incredible sports hall. I only wish they had been able to move in sooner as the children are all very excited! In conclusion, this is an excellent, family-oriented, medium-sized school option that encourages children to pursue whatever they´re good at, but also to explore the unknown in a safe and friendly environment. Highly recommended.

My children were nervous about leaving the French school system and starting at BCG but they have settled in very well, made good friends and enjoy their classes - even on-line! The school has a beautiful new building with excellent facilities that my kids are itching to use! My son in Year 9 received helpful guidelines when choosing his GCSE options and the school is on its way to offering the IB Diploma Programme. All in all an excellent experience so far!

Times are very exciting at the BCG with a visionary and inspiring new leader on board and an excellent team of dynamic, energetic and experienced staff. The new building and top notch facilities give the school a fresh, modern appeal while still maintaining a family ethos and strong sense of community. Music and the Performing Arts are now centre stage with the school maintaining its high profile in sports thanks to an outstanding multi-use pavilion and gym. Full of green space, this is a school that is genuinely committed to the environment, the ecology, and is developing strong links to exciting and innovative local projects promoting sustainability. Thanks to the new appointments, academic standards are very high and as the school moves towards IB accreditation exciting new pathways have been developed to ensure that each pupil fulfils their potential. In short, the BCG is an internationally-minded, 21st century school full of exciting vision and friendly, welcoming smiles.

Pues a mi me parece un colegio fantástico, he visto personalmente las instalaciones, no se trata de un colegio al uso en el que toda la parcela está edificada, sino un colegio con zonas abiertas y deportivas, están edificando una nueva área y me parece un colegio espectacular.
