About Princess Margaret School
Princess Margaret International School is a private, innovative and international school founded in 1967 and located in the city of Barcelona. It is a one form entry school, and the number of children in every class is 25.
Princess Margaret International School was the first school in the city of Barcelona that implemented the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IB) programm, and also integrates the statutory National Curriculum designated by Generalitat de Catalunya. Our school is a one form entry primary and secondary school, for students aged 3 to 16.
The school undertakes the (PYP) Primary Years Programme from P3 to 6th of Primary, children aged 3 to 12, and the (MYP) Middle Years Programme for Secondary School students, aged 12 to 16. The IB curriculum is based on Units of Enquiry that allow children to question, explore, think and reflect on their own practice, leading them to master academical concepts and acquire an open mind to solve real context situations. The IB ethos aims to encourage all students to be actively involved in their learning in order to take action and ownership of their own inquiries. At Princess Margaret knowledge is obtained through the exploration of concepts, research and the development of competences that stimulate creativity and critical thought.
The school supports multilingualism and integrates three main languages which are taught to the highest standard. English immersion is set 100% in the first two years in school, P3 and P4, and from then onwards Catalan and Spanish is introduced and taught equally (25%/25%), keeping English as a 50% in every year group. Being a non-local language, English language is taught intensively in all year groups, which leads students to perform and obtain high results in the official English Cambridge exams.
Princess Margaret International school is an inclusive school where all students are welcomed and valued. Our vision sets out to ensure that all students reach their year level expectations and above, regardless of their initial skills. Every member of the staff team is committed to the success of all our children and our learning culture is strong. The offer involves a broad and engaging curriculum that provides enhancing opportunities for children to increase their knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
Princess Margaret International School will take responsibility for nurturing every child’s interest and boost up their confidence to one day feel independent and capable to accomplish their dreams.

How would you rate Princess Margaret School?
This is not a truly international school. Terrible level, terrible accents. It is a local Catalan school in an old house with very poor outdoor space.
A fraud. It is not a fully trilingual IB school, but rather a local Catalan school where some English is spoken.

Esta bien , aunque le sobra un poco de marketing !!! Venden mucho y luego... mejorable las instalaciones deportivas no tienen y no les preocupa .. podrían cojer el colegio de al lado cerrado hace años , pero eso no les preocupa , solo su dinero y su marketing .. por lo demás esta bien , buena enseñanza
