Welcome to International School Costa Brava.

Welcome to ISCB, the International School of Costa Brava, a British International School offering the National Curriculum of England and Wales from Nursery through to Year 13. We are proud to be the only British school in the Girona province, providing safeguarding and ensuring a secure and supportive learning environment for our students.

All our classes are taught exclusively in English, fostering a language-rich atmosphere that prepares our students for global opportunities. Additionally, our school boasts a substantial art department located in “Escola de Ceràmica de la Bisbal” contributing to a well-rounded and creative educational experience.

Established in 2020, ISCB stands as a beacon of excellence in the realm of international education. Comprising a dedicated team of internationally trained teachers, our mission is clear: to empower every child with a multitude of opportunities and to unlock their full potential.

Set amid the breathtaking beauty of Platja d’Aro’s natural landscape, our school provides a unique and inspiring environment that encourages every student to explore, learn, and grow. At ISCB, we believe in nurturing young minds, guiding them on a path to become the architects of their own futures.
