Curriculum
Saint George’s School follows the Catalan regional curriculum, but with an intense English immersion programme using native English teachers. During primary school, all subject areas are taught in English except for Castellano Spanish and Catalan, which are both taught equally three hours per week. French is introduced from the final primary year.
During the final Batxillerat stage (ages 16-18) the only subjects taught in English are English language and literature and some optional subjects. All other subjects are taught in Castellano Spanish/Catalan while Spanish and French continue as language subjects.
For more info on the school’s educational project, view their website which is in English, Castellano Spanish and Catalan.

My daughter went to Saint George’s for a couple of years and we are very happy with the school. She went to the local village school until she was 8, and then we felt it was getting to small. I feel that Saint George’s school is a very happy place. There is a great, friendly atmosphere there and the children seem stimulated, involved and engaged. Maayan adores her teachers. I was worried about her getting behind in English and that has been taken care of. Her Castellano has also improved dramatically. The facilities there are great and they do a lot of projects and activities. There is a strong emphasis on reading which I think is very important, and they don’t over burden the children with homework at a young age. (Stephanie Ansell)
