Richmond International School Barcelona
Reviews & Information

Management is awful, they only care about the money and consistently lie to prospective parents in order to bring them in. Many broken promises regarding basic amenities. Teachers are a hit or miss, some are passionate about their jobs whereas others simply cannot teach which is noticeable in grades which the school does not publish for a reason. They brought in their own daughter for the school inspection (she had not attended the school for the whole year, and was actually attending another international school), in order to get a good review and make sure other students could not express their own views about improvements/concerns. Huge turnover of teachers, poor facilities (the playground is an old concrete car park with no shade and the only place to sit is on the floor in 30 degree heat). Many teachers ignore horrific behaviour from students (racism & misogyny in particular). No proper evidence that the school is actually accredited by NAABS (check their website). Management (the owners) claims there is not enough money for basic necessities yet take their children to balls in Monaco & Switzerland, and buy them all expensive cars? Much of content is not covered for official exams, leaving students unprepared and let down. Many students come for a few months to a year and end up leaving and attending other schools in the area once they realise how terribly managed it is! Overall a terrible school (with a few good teachers), much better off not wasting any time or money here as it only goes into the pockets of the owners and not towards yours child's education.
