BFIS is a truly American-International school in Barcelona. The school is MSACS accredited and an authorized International Baccalaureate World School for the Diploma Programme.
Teachers are the heart and soul of any school. At BFIS we are immensely proud of our staff who ensure that our school is a professionally satisfying place to learn, teach and work. That is why BFIS is dedicated to providing its community of educators with a wide range of professional development activities here at school (internal and external) to ensure they are on the leading edge of worldwide developments in best educational practices, technology, and the curriculum they deliver.
Barcelona is a wonderful city for both staff with families and who are traveling and working alone. It has something for everyone from the mountains to the ocean and from sports to arts and cultural activities. Barcelona has it all. With a fantastic public transport system staff can choose to walk, cycle or take the tram to work.
