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.

WE VALUE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
BFIS is actively committed to employing a diverse workforce. We practice a full non-discriminatory policy in all school-administered programs and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender identity, national and ethnic origin, age, refugee status, disability, religion or sexual orientation in any our admissions, educational and employment policies, programs, and practices. Staff representing non-European cultures and heritages are encouraged to apply. Experience in International Education is not necessary. Simply, we are looking for great teachers that represent a diversity of experiences and viewpoints.

CHILD SAFEGUARDING
BFIS is committed to the safety of its students by creating a culture of transparency and speaking out against unsafe practices around children. The school culture is one that exposes inappropriate behaviors in relation to children thus preventing opportunities for any individuals to take advantage of young people.
