Escola Privado Bilingüe Princess Margaret School en Barcelona

Mis hijos estudian en este colegio hace ya 7 años. Una de las mejores decisiones que he tomado en mi vida!! Mi hija mayor habla un inglés nativo precioso y desde P3 se ha sentido querida y feliz de ir a clase. Profesorado y Dirección se centran en las necesidades de cada niño en esta pequeña escuela. Lo más destacable además de su profesionalidad presencial, ha sido cómo se han adaptado al golpe de esta pandemia. Los niños no han perdido ni una sola hora de clase. Se conectan en directo de 8:45 a 16:45, con el tiempo necesario para comer y descansar, por supuesto, pero todos los profesores y la Dirección se han volcado al 100% en nuestros hijos, en su educación y estado anímico, intentando que el golpe de este virus sea lo más leve posible. Son geniales y el precio no es tan inaccesible como el del resto de escuelas de su nivel. Les doy un 10!

This school is a fraud. We placed our child for one year at significant cost, and removed them the next Fall as they (and us!) were so unhappy in the environment. Even on the first day of school, all the new kids (including mine) and parents wandered around looking for someone to welcome us. No one helped guide us to the classroom or to the appropriate teacher. It was utter chaos from the first day, which never ended, never guidance on schedules, on meal service, or how to communicate internally. The Director is happy to swoon you, mislead you and boast about all the school has to offer - which is in reality far below the IB standard (as confirmed from other's school's entrance exams). They sold us that they were an English-speaking IB school. In fact, it is a small, disorganized, mostly-Catalan speaking school that is barely integrating IB especially in the upper grades. The parents fill the class WhatsApp chat with complaints about why the school must be IB certified as none of them will move on to an IB program. Worst of all, the English teachers are local Catalan speakers with terrible accents and poorly written English. It's astonishing how bad the children speak English after years in a so-called trilingual school. Socially, the children lack basic respect for teachers, and there is no control over them. The school is very small (too small), one class per grade, but kids manage even to smoke in the bathroom next to the classrooms! Bullying is common, especially for new kids. If you are looking for an English-speaking international school, this is not the school for you.

That's not true and you know it. You probably don't like the school but that doesn't mean it is an awful school. It obviouly has its pros and cons but I've been studying here for almost 8 years and I haven't seen or experience anything you've said.
