Our educational project

At Highlands School, our private nursery, we nurture your child’s curiosity and confidence so that they explore the world with enthusiasm.

Academic excellence

English language immersion

We foster the comprehensive growth of our students from an early age. Through an enriched curriculum and innovative learning experiences, we cultivate curiosity, creativity and critical thinking.

From infancy, students learn English, and are integrated into the international curriculum from the age of 5 thanks to our certification as a Cambridge International School.

Our programme, which includes English from the earliest years and the prestigious Cambridge curriculum from P5, guarantees an excellent education.

Areas of learning

At our private nursery in Barcelona we offer a complete educational programme for children aged 1 to 5. Through initiatives such as BuildingMaths, Baby Sign Language, the Music Living Programme and other Early Years programmes, we support our pupils’ all-round development in areas such as maths, language, science, art, music, sport and early literacy.

Pupils who are known and supported

Catholic formation

We want our pupils to experience the love of Jesus Christ personally and to feel that the Church is a big family. Visits to the chapel help the children to come closer to God and to discover the beauty of prayer.

Active participation

Our InvolvEDucation programme helps families become part of school life, encouraging them to take an active part in their children’s academic and personal development. We organise family events such as Family Day and celebrate special occasions such as Star of the Week, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and Grandparents’ Day, where families, pupils and teachers share the experience together. We also offer personalised academic and pastoral monitoring, working hand in hand with families so that every pupil gives the best of themselves.

Support for families

Our one-to-one tutorials give every family close, personalised support throughout the school year. By following each child’s development in detail, we can adapt how we teach to build on their strengths and meet their particular needs.

Globally minded pupils

Private Early Years education in Barcelona: an international education

We educate globally minded pupils with an international outlook. Our House System builds a sense of community and healthy competition, while the Show & Tell programme develops their communication and public-speaking skills.

Digital learners

Digital tools

Our classrooms are equipped with technology such as interactive whiteboards and other devices, which make learning dynamic and collaborative. Through interactive activities and the exploration of multimedia, our pupils develop twenty-first-century skills and learn to use technology responsibly. We also introduce coding and robotics gradually, using platforms such as Beebots, to encourage computational thinking and creativity.

Committed pupils

Private Early Years education: virtues and emotional education programme

We encourage commitment and responsibility from an early age. In Early Years, children learn to recognise and manage their emotions through our emotional education programme.

They also work on independence, learning to do things for themselves and to make decisions. They take part in charitable initiatives such as Highlands in Action and in fundraising events, learning the value of solidarity.

Our virtues programme deserves a special mention: pupils and the whole school community cultivate essential virtues such as orderliness, empathy, responsibility and hard work, forming people of integrity who are committed to society.

What makes our Early Years work so well

At Highlands we offer an all-round programme that supports our pupils’ language, social and emotional development. Through language immersion, children pick up English naturally and enjoyably, while project work and cooperative learning help them build key skills for the future, such as critical thinking and independence.

A day in Early Years at Highlands School Barcelona

At Highlands, every day is an adventure in English. The children are welcomed warmly and immersed in a rich language environment. Through interactive activities with digital whiteboards and robots, they explore coding and robotics, while storytelling sessions and games build their fluency. We also celebrate different cultures and encourage values such as respect and responsibility, so that every day is both fun and educational.
