Maristes Sants-Les Corts is a Barcelona school of the Maristes de Catalunya network on two sites in the same district: Infantil and Primària stand at Carrer Antoni Capmany 80 by Plaça de Sants, ESO and the baccalaureate at Carrer Vallespir 160 in Les Corts. The Marists have been teaching in the Sants quarter for more than a hundred years. The school is authorised for the IB Diploma Programme, which runs on the upper site. English runs at every stage and the school sets it out hour by hour: in Infantil an hour of language, two hours of Playtime, an hour of Arts in every class and an hour of robotics in I5; in Primària two hours of language, an hour in the Red Bus language room, an hour of Arts & Crafts, ICT from year 1 to year 3 and an hour and a half of robotics from year 4 to year 6; in ESO two hours of language plus subjects taught by the AICLE (CLIL) method. On top of lessons there are conversation assistants and exchanges. The school gives its timetable by site: Infantil from 9:00 to 13:00 and 15:15 to 17:15, Primària from 9:00 to 13:00 and 15:30 to 17:30, ESO from 8:00 to 14:20 and 15:30 to 17:30 depending on the year, the baccalaureate from 8:00 to 14:20. The Sants site opens its doors at 7:30 for families who ask for it. The main thing a parent needs to know: the IB Diploma is an upper-stage choice, the school also runs the national baccalaureate, and the lower stages are at a different address. The language of instruction is Catalan: the school's language project names it the normal language of teaching and learning, Spanish is taught as a subject, and in English, by the CLIL method, the school teaches art, physical education and digital competence in primary and part of technology in the first year of ESO.

Admissions First-time entry to the school, including transfer from another school, goes through the general pre-registration of the Catalan Department of Education, online on the Generalitat portal and within the dates the department sets; places in the nursery, primary and ESO are allocated through it. For the bachillerato and the IB Diploma Programme enrolment is open all year, and families interested in the Diploma have a separate enquiry form. Families can get to know the school at open days and on personal visits booked all year round, separately for the junior site in Sants and the senior one in Les Corts. Children arriving from abroad are admitted under the school's own welcome plan: the plan describes a pupil who has entered the education system for the first time within the last twenty-four months, and for such pupils there is a reception class with intensive Catalan and a gradual move into ordinary classes.
Stages and year groups Grades I3 - baccalaureate. Two sites under one licence: Infantil and Primària at Antoni Capmany 80, ESO and the baccalaureate at Vallespir 160.

IBInternational Baccalaureate
A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: DP (ages 16-19). DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
The school publishes nothing about where its leavers go: no share going on to university, no exam results, no list of universities.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
