BHS​​
Do you also believe that traditional education is a failure in today's society?
Barcelona High School (BHS) is the anti-traditional school for students ages 3 to 18 officially founded in Spain in 2024 with enrollment of over 500 students.
BHS is the international American school in Barcelona Spain that solves the problems of traditional education that continue to destroy the lives of children throughout the world.

​
What is the problem with traditional education?
The problem with traditional education is that it is not flexible, does not account for student neurodiversity, nor focus on what is best for the student.
The traditional education system was founded on the principle of teachers having complete power over students as the method to control them, instead of to inspire them.
At BHS, however, student learning does NOT come from having power over students, but instead from empowering students to find within themselves what makes them unique and amazing, which BHS refers to as their "superpower".
​
What is the problem with traditional schools?
The problem with traditional schools is that they unfortunately still use the rote memorization teaching method designed over 200 years ago in the industrial age to indoctrinate students to simply follow orders like workers in a factory.
This outdated teaching method erroneously rewards students based on how well they blindly memorize useless information and conform to society to be just like everyone else, instead of challenging them on difficult issues and encouraging them to think outside the box.
Moreover, traditional schools focus solely on outdated curriculum and academic grades instead of focusing equally on the social and emotional wellbeing of students, therefore, failing to prepare students for the complex and distracting world that exists today.

​
Why is BHS not for you?
BHS is NOT for you if you prefer traditional schools because of their strict rules and uniforms, educational model that only "teaches to the test" or "one-size-fits-all" system like International Baccalaureate (IB), or the happiness of your child is not your priority.
BHS is also NOT for you if you prefer super alternative schools that don't value academic structure and the importance of a student's ability to reach their full potential through adversity and perseverance.
​
Why is BHS perfect for you?
BHS is the perfect school for you if you want a school that keeps its promise to holistically teach and inspire students to be problem solvers and in charge of their own destiny through academic curiosity, social engagement and psychological wellness, all in a caring and inclusive family-like community.​​
