About Us
A Place to Belong, Learn and Thrive
Small School. Big Opportunities. Lifelong Impact.
Welcome to International School of Maresme (ISM), a British international school where every student is known, valued and supported as an individual. Following the National Curriculum of England and Wales from Minis through to Year 11, we provide a personalised educational journey that combines academic excellence with emotional wellbeing.
Our small class sizes and family-oriented environment allow us to truly understand each student’s strengths, interests and aspirations. At ISM, learning goes beyond the classroom, creating the confidence, curiosity and resilience needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
All lessons are delivered in English, immersing students in a multilingual and internationally minded environment while ensuring they develop the language skills required for future success. Our approach encourages students to think critically, communicate confidently and engage with learning in meaningful ways.
Located in the heart of the Maresme coast, our school offers a safe, welcoming and inspiring setting where children can grow academically, socially and emotionally. Supported by a dedicated team of experienced educators, every student receives the individual attention they need to reach their full potential.
At ISM, we believe that education is not simply about achieving results. It is about helping every child discover who they are, build meaningful relationships and develop the confidence to shape their own future.

We believe that every child deserves to be seen and heard. Our small class sizes allow teachers to build meaningful relationships with students, providing personalised support, individual attention and an environment where every learner can flourish.

From outdoor learning experiences and creative projects to real-world problem solving and collaborative activities, we believe learning should be engaging, relevant and memorable. Our approach nurtures curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning while helping students connect their education to the world around them.
