Hamelin-Laie International School Barcelona is a proud member of Nord Anglia Education, a global family of leading international schools known for outstanding academic and personal excellence.

Located just outside Barcelona and only steps from the beach, our vibrant community brings together students from more than 55 nationalities. Here, your child will experience engaging learning opportunities both in and beyond the classroom, developing a global outlook and a deep connection to the world around them.

A Leading International Education Pathway

In Years 10 and 11, students undertake our tailored Pre-Baccalaureate curriculum. This programme builds strong academic, personal, and linguistic foundations, preparing students to excel in the final stage of their school journey based on their goals and aspirations.

In Years 12 and 13, students choose between two academically rigorous pathways:

  • The IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) – an internationally recognised qualification that fosters inquiry, global-mindedness, and high-level academic skills. Hamelin-Laie has consistently achieved a pass rate of 98%, significantly above the global average. We are proud to be an inclusive school at DP level.
  • The Spanish National Baccalaureate – a deep and comprehensive programme aligned with national university entry requirements, ideal for students planning to pursue higher education in Spain.

We're proud to offer an international education that combines academic excellence, personalised pathway choice, and expert university and careers guidance – preparing students for success at top universities worldwide.

Our Campus

The Hamelin-Laie campus in Montgat – just 20 minutes from central Barcelona – offers a safe, modern, and inspiring environment surrounded by greenery and Mediterranean landscapes. Our purpose-built facilities feature fluid, open spaces that encourage exploration and creativity.

Students enjoy sweeping views of the sea and nearby mountains as they learn and collaborate. This extraordinary setting enhances wellbeing and brings classroom learning to life.

Boarding: An Exceptional Home Away from Home

Our international boarding house provides a welcoming, family-like environment where students from around the world live, learn, and grow together. With a community of up to 50 secondary students, our boarders receive 24/7 support from caring House Parents and dedicated staff who ensure each student feels safe, guided, and empowered.

Living and studying in our boarding community helps students build independence, resilience, and confidence as they prepare for university life and beyond. Many form lifelong friendships within this warm and inclusive home away from home.

Global Awareness

Developing open-minded, globally conscious young people is a central part of our mission. Through service learning, cultural events, and collaborative international experiences – often enhanced by Nord Anglia's global platforms – students learn to understand diverse perspectives and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

We'd be delighted to welcome you to our campus, either in person or virtually, to show you how we can support your child in building an extraordinary future.
