About The Olive Tree School
The Olive Tree School provides dynamic, personalised education for 3-16 year olds. We founded The Olive Tree in a cosy ground floor of a house in Sitges to provide a school that was warm, caring and with high academic expectations. Now, many years later, we have spacious premises with beautiful grassy gardens, a science lab, two ICT suites, an airy art studio, two large, full libraries, two outdoor classrooms, two thriving vegetable plots and an indoor and an outdoor theatre.
However, we have remained true to our original values. Those centre on high expectations for all children leading to academic excellence. We guide every pupil on their path to developing a spirit of independence, optimism and innovation. We inspire our pupils with an excitement for the world of ideas! Our dedicated team of teachers are British-government trained, and employ a variety of teaching styles in the classroom. We create an environment where children experiment with new concepts, and follow their curiosity. Discovery and a free exchange of ideas are essential to us.

How would you rate The Olive Tree School?
A school which offers a very British-style education and an ideal choice for kids that flourish in a more caring environement.
My kids spent 6 fantastic years here. Wonderful, dedicated teachers who are really focused on the children. Small class sizes meant both my kids got loads of attention if and when they needed help and were pushed on when they needed that too. There is a real community here, teachers and admin know all the families and the children really well. There is not a school at all like this out here. They've taught my children how think critically, how to question everything and how to be curious about the world around them. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking for the best rounded education that is truly child centred.
Our son is now in his 3rd year at Olive Tree. Lovely school and lovely teachers. And also a very good vibe between parents! Most families live and stay in the area for a long time.
Warm and caring, lovely environment
It's hard to put into words what the Olive Tree School has done for our children. The level of individual care for each child is simply amazing...it's a young school but the head has such a clear view of how children and young adults need to be treated and it flows through to every teacher. Very few schools can pull off the trick of warm and caring yet still get top notch academic results. Olive Tree somehow does it :)
The olive tree is a very nice school.
I personally feel as though the olive tree school is an amazing school who helps guide students. My son currently in year 4, struggles with severe dyslexia. Over course of his schooling life we have struggled to find a school which fully supports him & his needs. That is until we found the olive tree. I am so grateful for the community of teachers, parents and even the students!! Thank you so much olive tree.
My child goes to Olive Tree and enjoys it very much, the people in the school are very kind and generous. I highly recommend this school to others moving to Barcelona.
My daughter has just begun her third year at this wonderful school and is blossoming into a delightful young woman. After trying quite a few schools in the area we settled on The Olive Tree and we couldn't be happier! The community is welcoming, the eduction is tailored to every childs needs and the surroundings are lovely. Big thank you to The Olive Tree School!
Brilliant and creative learning I highly recommend it. The children and staff are lovely and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The teaching is adapted to each child which leads to spot on learning and great exam results, (although it is not exam heavy).

We love the Olive Tree School! It was the answer to our dreams after leaving a school where our daughter's dyslexia was neither identified nor supported. During her five years at the OTS she received caring, individual attention and thrived in a rich and supportive environment of scholarship, creativity (music and drama) and sports. The small class size is a huge plus, and the school feels like one big family for both the kids and the parents. Thank you Olive Tree School!

My two daughters have thrived in this school, it brings out the best in them in all subjects as well as providing a safe and trusting environment. Could not have found a better school for two children who are different in their learning styles. Would recommend this school to anyone.

I left The Olive Tree School about three years ago, yet it will forever be in my heart. This special place did not only help me pass my GCSE exams in the most pleasant way, but created a confidence in myself that made me believe in my capacities. When I look back and speak about the OTS, it is always with full pride. This is a special place for every child and mind. Here you will grow towards your own dreams, yet with a motivating push from all the lovely teachers. Thank you Audrey for creating such a community Love Raphi

We have three children at The Olive Tree School in Primary and Secondary. They are all so happy and their self confidence and love of learning has gone through the roof since we came 3 years ago. It is a warm, friendly learning environment where all of the staff and children know each other. The children are encouraged to be creative, entrepreneurial individuals, to be thoughtful, respectful and considerate to others and to help to make positive change in the world. All this and a track record of excellent GCSE results. This is a truly unique school.
