Deutsche Schule Barcelona

The Deutsche Schule Barcelona (DBS, or Colegio Aleman de Barcelona) is a private German school offering the German national curriculum.

Curriculum

The school aims to be multilingual, offering tuition in German, Castellano Spanish and Catalan from primary through to finishing secondary education (3-18 years). However, Catalan or Castellano speaking pupils who do not speak German will need to begin their study at nursery level, or undertake a preparatory course to begin class 5 at secondary school.

Upon graduation students gain the German Abitur (equivalent to Bachillerato in Spain or A Levels in England), which is also recognised in Spain and so students could continue to university in that country.

The campus, which currently has about 1,400 students, includes a spacious building with modern facilities. It also owns attractive sports facilities and much more. The Deutsche Schule Barcelona (German School of Barcelona in English) stands for: Technical and methodical learning at a high level of performance, Intercultural encounters and cooperative school environment, Consistent education in values: respect, tolerance, openness and fairness are particularly important, Education for self-reliant, dedicated people, Promoting creativity and a high level of education.

The school is located near Esplugues de Llobgregat, and is a 20 minute drive from the city centre.
