Our international community

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

Our student population is very international. The predominant language on campus is English. All subjects are taught in English, with the exception of the Spanish and Catalan language classes, and some tennis or physical training classes.

INTERNATIONAL MINDEDNESS

International-mindedness is a view of the world in which we see ourselves as connected to the global community. With a student community from approximately 40 different countries, ES American School students have many opportunities to share experiences with each other and become aware of others’ points of view. An awareness of the inter-relatedness of all nations and peoples is encouraged, and students learn to recognize the complexity of these relationships. Internationalmindedness is about assuming a sense of responsibility to the global community and understanding how what we learn on a daily basis connects to life in school, at home, and in the world.
