At Hamelin-Laie, students benefit from an exceptional education that combines a rigorous curriculum with world-class learning opportunities and global experiences. The school follows the Spanish National Curriculum from Early Years through Secondary Education while integrating it with an international framework delivered through the renowned International Curriculum Association (ICA).

Students follow a continuous, well-structured learning pathway through the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC). Their expert educators tailor instruction to each student’s unique interests and talents, providing support and challenge at the appropriate level. This dual approach enables students to meet national academic requirements while benefiting from a global, skills-based learning experience. 

This programme prepares students for the next stage of their education at age 16: either the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) or the Bachillerato Nacional. In both renowned programmes, students consistently outperform global and national averages, opening the door to some of the world’s top universities. 

Hamelin-Laie students benefit from a trilingual learning programme. English is the official language of instruction, with both Spanish and Catalan embedded into the curriculum ensuring students enjoy the full cultural experience of living in Spain and Barcelona.

Inspiring Educational Excellence
At Hamelin-Laie, education is about much more than just academic achievement. Teachers encourage students to think critically, and develop creativity, resilience and confidence to make their mark on the world. Their world-class educators bring this to life in the school. Through the Nord Anglia collaboration with MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, students are challenged to find creative solutions to real-world problems.

Outstanding Learning Experiences
Students get to experience local and regional offsite trips and expeditions, which bring their education to life through real-world application. The expeditions are designed to broaden students’ perspectives and expose them to different cultures, people and ideas. Trips to Nord Anglia global and regional events and competitions will be a real benefit for the students and develop their leadership capability. At the same time, they’ll make lifelong friendships with people from all over the world.

The Power to Change the World
Hamelin-Laie has a long tradition of supporting local charities, that is amplified through Nord Anglia’s partnership with UNICEF.  This gives both students and teachers the chance to make a meaningful, positive impact on the community around them. Every year, UNICEF and Nord Anglia invite students to work on a Global Sustainable Development Challenge and to have their voices heard on matters that are important to them and their futures.

World-Class Performing Arts
As part of the Nord Anglia Education family, Hamelin-Laie students benefit from an exclusive collaboration with The Juilliard School, one of the world’s leading performing arts institutions. Through an enriched programme of music, dance and drama, students develop creativity, confidence, collaboration and self-expression while learning through world-class artistic approaches

We provide our students with a rich and stimulating academic environment, a stable emotional environment based on optimism, and solid values where kindness and commitment allow them to shape a better future.
