High School

A RIGOROUS YET FLEXIBLE CURRICULUM

The university preparatory program for 9th through 12th grades (14-18 year olds) provides an academically challenging curriculum. Alongside core literature, math, science and social studies classes, students also take two elective courses each academic year. These courses include creative writing, journalism, marine biology and theatre, as well as our fully immersive Spanish and Catalan language classes. Students may also choose to take rigorous Advanced Placement (AP) classes if they wish to achieve further academic excellence. Students graduate with the American High School Diploma upon successful completion of 12th grade.

Up to the end of 10th grade, students can

choose to follow both the American and Spanish/Catalan curricula simultaneously, enabling them to homologate their 10th grade studies with 4 o ESO and later access Spanish universities.

A SCHEDULE TO OPTIMIZE ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS

The schedule of classes is carefully aligned with the students’ training schedules for both tennis and waterpolo. Other students combine their academics with sports such as football and horse riding. The schedule can also facilitate participation in extracurricular pursuits at outside institutions, such as music or dance lessons. This schedule optimizes academic, athletic and personal performance for all students.

THE PE PROGRAM

We offer a physical education (PE) program of one hour per day for students who do not practice high-performance sports. The PE program includes an hour of tennis twice a week, and an hour of physical education three times a week. PE students can make use of the excellent sports facilities on campus, like the gym, basketball courts or football fields.
