An amazing new style of teaching and learning environment which is built around a passion for modern education. Hannah has created an amazing place for young people to learn. We came to Barcelona in 2016 from Australia and after a stint at another school, we were looking for something more motivating, dynamic, responsive, relevant and capable for our now 16 year old son. The combination of incredibly passionate, capable teachers, a really nice space, and wonderful values weave their way through the everyday to drive greater interest and passion in the young adults who are lucky enough to attend. It is world class. And first class. And apparently quite a fun class.
I have been attending classes with the centre’s teachers and worked alongside the Director, Hannah Grech, for over 5 years now. The service and dedication they provide is unmatched in Barcelona. The atmosphere is also excellent and curated well by the teachers who build a trustworthy platform for students to express themselves and relate to others, something that is lacking at other institutions in the city. Would highly recommend the group/personal classes as well as the full time A level program as I have really enjoyed and benefited working so closely with their teachers.
I’ve been attending this school for 2 years now, and I can comfortably say it is the best school in Barcelona by a long shot. The teachers are all excellent, they provide a warm, safe, and fun learning environment for students, they all excel at teaching their respective courses in a dynamic manner ( my favourite probably being English) . Additionally, the overall vibe of the school is incredibly warm and welcoming, all of the students get along really well and it creates a really great environment, the class sizes create a very cozy and close knit environment that make even classes about difficult or less interesting topics incredibly entertaining. It’s evident that the teachers really care about the overall health and well-being of their students, not just their grades. As a student who has lived in Barcelona for over 5 years and has been to a variety of different schools, this is by far the best one in BCN. The director, Hannah grech, has done an amazing job running this wonderful school.
The TLA Way
We believe that a love of learning is central to both educational success and the wellbeing of young people. It’s because of this that we provide students with a broad range of extracurricular activities to complement and enrich their classroom learning. We offer Model United Nations, Duke of Edinburgh and bespoke activities such as art classes and personal training.
In addition to extracurriculars, we also organise a range of exciting excursions throughout the year related to students’ studies. These trips are designed to bring learning to life and provide real-world application. We said it before: we’re not your traditional international school in Barcelona!
