26-01-2026

Forbes includes St. George Barcelona in its ranking of the 100 best schools in Spain as a benchmark in the national and international educational landscape

The recognition of an educational centre as a benchmark for academic and educational quality is a relevant indicator of its impact on the educational community and society. St. George Barcelona has been selected as one of the 100 best schools in Spain by the prestigious Forbes Spain list, a ranking that evaluates the country's most outstanding educational institutions based on criteria such as academic excellence, educational project, pedagogical innovation, internationalisation and comprehensive student support.

This distinction positions us as a benchmark within the national and international educational landscape, consolidating our commitment to high-quality education focused on the academic, personal and social development of our students. Inclusion in the Forbes list not only recognises our school's academic results, but also our educational vision, based on solid values, individualised attention and a clear international outlook.

Why has St. George Barcelona been chosen as one of the best schools in Spain?

The choice of St. George Barcelona as one of the best schools in Spain is based on a set of interrelated factors that make up a solid, coherent educational project geared towards excellence. These are the reasons behind this recognition.

A comprehensive, student-centred educational project

One of the fundamental pillars of St. George Barcelona is our educational approach, which focuses on the student as the protagonist of their own learning. Our school promotes comprehensive development that goes beyond the acquisition of academic knowledge, systematically incorporating personal, emotional and social growth. This approach fosters the development of autonomous, critical and responsible students who are capable of facing academic and life challenges with confidence and maturity.

Individualised attention and continuous monitoring allow us to adapt the teaching-learning process to the specific needs of each student, respecting their pace, talents and interests.

Academic excellence and proven results

Academic quality is another key factor behind Forbes' recognition. At St. George Barcelona, we maintain high educational standards and a rigorous approach to teaching, which is reflected in solid and consistent academic results throughout the different stages of education.

We prepare our students to successfully pass internationally recognised external assessments, facilitating their access to prestigious universities both in Spain and abroad. This commitment to excellence is supported by highly qualified teaching staff, structured curriculum planning and a culture of continuous improvement.

Pedagogical innovation and active methodologies

Educational innovation is a distinctive feature of St. George Barcelona's pedagogical project. We incorporate active methodologies that encourage student participation, meaningful learning and the development of critical thinking, with a special focus on language learning and practice. The use of interdisciplinary projects, collaborative work and the integration of new technologies allow students to apply their knowledge in real-life contexts and develop key skills for the 21st century.

Values education and personal development

Values education is central to the philosophy of St. George Barcelona. We promote principles such as respect, empathy, responsibility and coexistence, creating a safe and positive school environment. The development of social and emotional skills is integrated across the academic curriculum, fostering healthy interpersonal relationships and coexistence based on dialogue and cooperation.

This objective contributes to the development of well-rounded individuals who are committed to their environment and capable of contributing constructively to society.

International and multicultural environment

Another aspect valued in Forbes' selection is the marked international character of our school. St. George Barcelona welcomes students of many nationalities, creating an enriching multicultural environment that fosters open-mindedness, tolerance and respect for diversity. 

Daily interaction prepares students to function naturally in international contexts and to understand different cultural realities.

British and international education in Barcelona

St. George Barcelona's educational approach is based on the British education system, which is internationally recognised for its academic rigour, practical focus and ability to develop key skills in students. The British curriculum, taught in English, is complemented by the teaching of several languages, ensuring a comprehensive and balanced linguistic education that responds to both the local context and global demands.

This international educational model enables students to acquire a high level of linguistic competence, develop intercultural communication skills and build an open and global mindset. British education encourages critical thinking, creativity and autonomy, preparing students to successfully face the academic and professional challenges of the future.

Our school's international approach translates into an educational vision that values diversity, promotes continuous learning and places the student at the centre of a formative process geared towards personal and academic growth. At St. George Barcelona, we not only offer a quality education, we also train global citizens who are capable of adapting to an increasingly interconnected and changing world.

St. George Barcelona's recognition among the 100 best schools in Spain according to Forbes is the result of a coherent, demanding and innovative educational project that combines academic excellence with a solid foundation in values and a clear international focus.
