International Schools
Fully private, EUR 5,000-20,000/year. Teaching in English, French, or German. Rolling admissions.
The Catalan Question
In public and concertada schools, the language of instruction is Catalan. Most foreign children reach functional Catalan in 6-12 months, near-native by year two for children under 10.
