About Us
BHS is a welcoming and dynamic new-age school for the post-Covid era that focuses on student-centered learning through a revolutionary education approach called the BHS Method™, rather than using the old-fashioned "one-size-fits-all" teaching methodology that unbelievably still exists today in other schools.
BHS is revolutionizing education by teaching students that the path to success is by finding their true strengths and continually learning from failure to find solutions to problems. Unlike traditional schools that still believe in the out-dated teaching model designed for children in the industrial age over 200 years ago that defines success simply by how well students can memorize answers to tests in one chance versus trial and error.
To accomplish this vision, as a Social Wellness School™, BHS lives by the promise and original mission to help students excel not only academically, but socially and psychologically as well. Accordingly, besides academics (including AP courses for students who wish to enter elite universities), other areas such as student social life, extra-curricular activities, and mental health and emotional confidence are all priorities of the school. BHS also provides leadership and empowerment skills, international speakers, and career and life counseling. Naturally, students increase their emotional intelligence while expanding their opportunities and finding their life passions.
Delivering on its promise and mission is Why BHS is the fastest growing school in Europe. Indeed, in only its 2nd year, BHS has already been considered both the best international school in Spain and most prestigious school in Spain. And most recently in 2024, the most innovative school in Spain.
​
BHS is the only international and American school in the heart of Barcelona city. Unlike the other international and American schools which are located outside the city and lack real life Barcelona culture. BHS is the school for the global village where the international community unites, also with perfect access to all modes of public transportation.
​
While BHS uses the American school education system, it is the international school in Barcelona for the global community. Accordingly, BHS is the most international school in Europe, as no nationality is larger than 20% of the student body.
Indeed, BHS is the only school in Barcelona that has English immersion and English Foundation Year programs for non-native English speakers. While also offering intensive Spanish courses for non-Spanish speakers to develop cultural integration within Spain.
​
BHS is a fun, engaging, caring and diverse environment (across multiple grade levels, religions, cultures and nationalities) where students come together as one big family learning through flexible, innovative and dynamic teaching methods. Asking questions, engaging in dialogue, and speaking in class are welcomed and rewarded.
​
To further create its unique family bond among students, BHS offers extra-curricular activities (including sports for girls and boys) and creative elective options for students such as art and music.
Moreover, BHS has a modern digital school platform for academic monitoring and progress transparency, flexibility for traveling athletes, and learning independence.
​
BHS started with only 5 students in the basement of a co-working space, in its first year (2020-2021), and then grew to over 30 students in its 2nd year (2021-2022). In its 3rd school year (2022-2023), BHS had already grown to 100 students. In its 4th school year (2023-2024), BHS had grown to 200 students. And now in its 5th year (2024-2025), BHS has an enrollment of 340 students to serve as the global school for Barcelona, the best city to live in Spain.
​
In the upcoming school year (2025-2026), BHS plans to open a new preschool and primary school campus, in addition to moving into a new middle and high school campus, to be the #1 international American school for global citizens.
