An Exceptional Global Education
ES American School is an American, independent, co-educational school that offers Elementary School (grades 1-5), Middle School (grades 6-8) and Senior High School (grades 9-12). Its objective is to provide its students with an excellent academic training that prepares them for their future university studies.
Our primary school is an accredited IB World School and we offer the Primary Years Program (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate (IB) for grades 1-5. For more information about the IB and its programs, visit www.ibo.org
All students receive individualized attention, academic guidance and personalized advice, in order to ensure both the acquisition of their academic skills and the development of their strengths and personal talent.
International Baccalaureate (IB)Primary Years Program (PYP)
In the primary years, children have a natural curiosity and desire to explore. Our elementary school is set in a unique natural environment within the safe campus of the Emilio Sánchez Academy. Surrounded by trees and ample green spaces, students have access to diverse spaces that provide opportunities to learn, explore and play, fostering natural inquiry, healthy habits, and unique learning opportunities.
During the important developmental cycles of our students, our main objective is to prepare our young students to become active participants in a lifelong learning journey. Our curriculum is offered within the framework of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP). Such a program is designed to be internationally-minded, concept-driven, purposeful and challenging, focusing on the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and the outside world. Our classes are inquiry-based, with an engaging, thematic focus through which we learn essential skills and gain knowledge in math, language arts, science, social studies, physical education, the arts, and robotics. We also offer Spanish and Catalan classes at both native and non-native level.
