International School of Catalunya
Established in 2007, the International School of Catalunya (ISCAT) was founded with one primary objective. The goal is to provide both local and international families with a values-based and dynamic educational platform for their children.
ISCAT always maintains small class sizes and nurtures close student-staff interactions. This has been a fundamental aspect of shaping the school's unique learning culture and a strong sense of community. Hence, from its inception with a humble enrollment of only 13 students, ISCAT has witnessed substantial growth. Now, the school is currently accommodating over 200 students.
In 2012, the institution introduced the pioneering Forest School program led by Forest Leader Emma Montgomery. This program pioneers a unique outdoor education initiative in Spain. Since then, it has become an integral part of ISCAT's educational framework to enhance student's learning experiences.
The curriculum at ISCAT also aligns with the local "Plan de la Generalitat" to introduce the finest aspects of anglophone education worldwide. Students gain access to esteemed tertiary institutions across the UK, Europe, and beyond - a gateway to diverse global educational opportunities.
On the other hand, SCAT takes pride in its recognition by UNICEF as an accredited Rights Respecting School. Specifically, the foundational principles of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child form an integral part of the institution's educational program. This accreditation underscores ISCAT's commitment to instilling values of respect and human rights within the educational environment.
