Established in 1964, by José Mª Ginjaume Mencerré, Marian Garriga and Jaume Lerma, St. Peter's School is a bilingual school located in Barcelona, Spain.
St. Peter's School offers three IB programmes, validated by the International Baccalaureate: the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme.[1] It is the only IB World School in Barcelona that offers all three programmes. The school is accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Education, the Generalitat de Catalunya, and by the Best Schools in Spain CICAE.[2] Students can also take the International Cambridge Examinations in secondary education and during pre-university education, as well as external examinations to acquire certificates in Languages (ESOL in English, and DELF in French).[3]
The St Peter's School staff includes 89 faculty members (teachers and learning assistants), 21 support staff, administrators and support center personnel.
From nursery to primary five, English is the medium of instruction in the classroom. Spanish is introduced gradually once students enter secondary education, next to Catalan and French (starting from primary five). The school also offers Chinese Mandarin as an after-school activity.
The Program for the International Assessment of Students (PISA)[4] was promoted by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). These tests evaluate the ability to apply learned knowledge and skills in real-life situations, in order to reason and communicate more effectively.
These are the graduates of St. Peter's School, Barcelona earn the International Baccalaureate Diploma. They also achieve university-level language qualifications: Cambridge Certificates in English, Level C in Catalan, Spanish proficiency level, DELF B2 in French and a basic level of German.
