Saba Verda International School

Saba Verda International School is a private international school located in Tortosa, in the province of Tarragona. It provides a comprehensive education in English for students aged 3 to 18, from Early Years to secondary school. The school employs the British National Curriculum and is approved and endorsed by the British Ministry of Education and by Ensenyament, and also holds accreditation from the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS). This allows its graduates to obtain the qualifications necessary to continue their studies in Spain, Catalonia, or the United Kingdom. The language of instruction is English, and the curriculum also incorporates Catalan and Spanish, along with their history, geography, and culture.

The school's programs are thematic and project-based. In the Early Years stage (3-5 years), the curriculum covers seven areas of learning: communication and language, physical development, social development, emotional and personal development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and art and expression. In primary (6-11 years), the British National Curriculum is combined with a proprietary curriculum. The secondary school, which has been part of the institution since 2020, serves from Year 7 to Year 11 and offers a wide variety of subjects, in addition to training in personal, social, and emotional education. The school has expanded its offerings to include Year 12, introducing A Level studies.

Learning is based on research, relating activities to topics of interest to students, and on active learning, where students solve problems with the support of teachers. Small class sizes allow for individualized attention and a close relationship between teachers and students. The proposal includes academic, extracurricular, and social activities. The campus is located in the historic city of Tortosa, in an environment that facilitates excursions to places such as the Parc Natural de la Tinença de Benifassà and the Parc Natural dels Ports, as well as visits to nearby museums and theaters. The admission process includes a visit to the school and an interview with families and future students.
