BHS
Please note that BHS has expanded both campuses (elementary and high school) to increase enrollment places for the 2026-2027 school year to avoid waiting lists.
Do you want a school where your child feels safe and loved?
For ages 3 to 18, BHS is a Social Wellness School™ where students not only excel academically but, more importantly, excel socially and psychologically in equal measure within a flexible, inclusive, and welcoming international community.
Do you believe that the traditional school system is broken?
Founded in 2024 with the Spanish Ministry of Education, and now already with over 500 students spread out between a small, safe and cozy primary campus , which is the new home for BHS Elementary & Preschool, in the upper Gracia district, and a larger, modern and dynamic secondary campus in the innovative Poblenou district, BHS is a private international American school in Barcelona created to solve the problems of traditional education that still continue to destroy the lives of children around the world.
What are the problems with traditional education?
Traditional education is not flexible, does not account for student neurodiversity, nor focuses on what is truly best for the student.
The traditional education system, unfortunately, 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.
Indeed, through our BHS Method™, known as "Build, Harvest, Succeed", students are truly able to find their superpower to take control of their own destiny unlike at any other school in the world.
What is the problem with traditional schools?
Today's traditional schools, 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This outdated teaching method erroneously rewards students based on how well they blindly memorize useless information and conform to society to be just like everyone else,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 encouraging them to think outside the box and find their superpower.
Moreover, traditional schools focus solely on academic success 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, uniforms, the "one-size-fits-all" International Baccalaureate (IB) model, educational systems that only "teach to the test", old-fashioned teachers, or if 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 high academic standards 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, human social engagement and psychological wellness, all in a caring and inclusive family-like community.
