How would you rate Schweizerschule Barcelona (ESB)?
It's curious how all those 5-star reviews on Google were written over the last 4 to 6 weeks, while all the negative reviews disappeared. The truth is: many pupils end up speaking German quite poorly (and their English is even worse). Of your child encounters any issue during their school "career", they'll make sure that they'll leave the school.
Very strict, no flexibility at all, no diversity, no inclusion. Many teachers don't speak proper German.
Very classist school. If your son has ADHD, they'll "invite" you to leave.

Languages are the door openers of the future, in this Swiss School they will graduate with FIVE languages! The reason we moved from Lanzarote to Barcelona over one year ago, was because of the reputation of the Swiss school, and the exceptional leadership of there principal, Pascal Affolter and there great team. Always trying to find ways to improve educational values with the cooperation of the the Swiss government, especially the Canton Bern. Our two children Ocean and River (6 and 10) are very happy and can already speak decent German now. when visiting my family in Zurich, they are astonished by how fast they have learned German. I am Swiss born, but never spoke German with my children. At home we speak English.

Estuve en ese entrañable Colegio desde 1948 hasta 1958 gracias a la amistad de mi padre con el Dr.Caparrós médico de la Escuela y del Hospital de las Colonias Extranjeras de Barcelona donde yo nací, y cuyos hijos,Teresita,Jorge,Mercedes y Quico, también eran alumnos. Guardo un imborrable recuerdo de mi paso por esa excelente Escuela y de sus magníficos profesores.Aunque hoy resido en Extremadura procuro desplazarme a Barcelona cuando se reúnen mis compañeros de curso.Recuerdo con una leve sonrisa algunas travesuras propias de mi temperamento rebelde, como lanzar unas bombas fétidas que causaron el mareo del dentista suizo que nos visitaba anualmente o esparcir polvos de rapé que hicieron estornudar a media clase,o en otra ocasión tirar bolitas con el canuto de un bolígrafo al cogote de los colegas que se sentaban en las primeras filas. En fin hay muchas "hazañas" que podría contar de aquellos tiempos pero la que más repercusión tuvo en mi opinión fué cuando en la clase de literatura dí una charla defendiendo la existencia de los platillos volantes que causó gran revuelo entre profesores y alumnos de toda la Escuela.A los pocos días surcaban el cielo de Barcelona los primeros reactores americanos venidos desde la base de Torrejón de Ardoz que con sus estelas de humo dieron pábulo a toda clase de fantasiosos comentarios. Tengo medio hilvanadas unas memorias autobiográficas en las que no faltará un destacado lugar para la Escuela Suiza de Barcelona.
