From 12 months to 14 years and beyond, BMS gives children and young people the freedom, environment and guidance to discover who they are — and who they can become.
"Every child deserves the freedom to explore, the patience to grow at their own pace, and a community that believes in who they are becoming. That is what we strive for here, every single day."
Julianna Randé
Head of School
Montessori is best understood in person. Throughout the year we run events that are free and open to the public — the easiest first step for curious families, long before any application.
Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
Italian doctor and educator, founder of the Montessori method.
Meet our leadership team from anywhere in the world, hear how BMS works from Nido to Secondary, and ask anything — held regularly through the year.
Walk the Mas Pomaret garden and our prepared environments, and see what students do in a Montessori classroom on an ordinary morning.
Introductions to the Montessori approach for parents and educators — from the science of self-directed learning to Montessori at home.
"To provide an optimal environment for students to develop into prepared and fulfilled citizens of the world."
"We can't prepare them for everything, but we can prepare them for anything."
— MICHAEL WASKI
Students at the centre of every decision, supporting every student's holistic development.
As a means for a peaceful world — for oneself, others, and the environment we share.
For oneself, for others, and for the wider world.
Every staff member, student and parent shares a sense of connection and contribution to the BMS mission and vision. This is what makes BMS a community, not just a school.
Practical and emotional skills that promote educational and social independence at every stage.
Each stage of development has its own prepared environment, trained guides, and curriculum — built around how students actually grow.
A calm nest for babies to explore freely, develop motor skills, and experience their first community outside home.
Language, independence, social interaction and fine motor refinement in a toddler-sized world of possibility.
Self-directed work, practical life, grace and courtesy. Students choose their activities and learn to own their pace.
Cosmic Education, deep inquiry, real-world projects. Students build knowledge and learn to lead themselves.
Opened Sept 2025 and currently growing cohort by cohort. Land, enterprise, and community at the heart of adolescent learning.
Curriculum, daily rhythm and outcomes for each programme — from Nido to Secondary — plus how Montessori depth meets recognised British standards.
Home is where you are respected and heard. Before the spaces, before the garden, what defines BMS is how students are treated: as whole people, listened to, taken seriously, with the school adapting to the student — never the other way around.
Every interaction at BMS starts from the same place: deep respect for the student. Adults speak to students at eye level, conflicts are resolved through dialogue, and each student's rhythm, interests and needs shape their path — because we adapt to the student, not the student to us.
Families tell us this is what they feel first when they walk in: students who are calm, confident, and genuinely heard.
The Mas Pomaret is one of the oldest Masies in Sarrià. The remaining 6,000 m² of heritage garden surrounds our Early Years and Secondary campuses. Students grow food, observe nature, and spend real time outdoors every day — not as a break from learning, but as the deepest kind of it.
For our Secondary students, agriculture and land-based work are woven into the programme. There is no other urban school in Barcelona — or barely anywhere — with a space like this.

English is the language that unites our community of 40+ nationalities. Spanish and Catalan are the second languages taught at school. Communication is natural, and we celebrate the richness that other languages and cultures bring to our understanding of the world.
BMS is a micro-society. Students learn to navigate complexity, resolve conflict, and support one another in a real, mixed-age community — skills that no classroom exercise can replace.
Our two in-house chefs prepare seasonal, nutritious meals in our own kitchen every day. Students eat together in a shared dining space — a Montessori practical life experience in itself. Menus accommodate all dietary needs and are developed in partnership with Ametller Origen.
Sitting down together to eat is not logistics. It is community.
Opened in September 2025 and growing to 18 cohort by cohort, our Adolescent programme is built around what this age actually needs: real work, real responsibility, and a real community. Students run enterprises, work the land in the Mas Pomaret garden, and connect their academic studies — guided by specialist teachers, including doctorate-level guides in Sciences and Humanities — to projects that matter.
The programme rests on two strands — work on the self and work for the community — and reaches beyond the campus: learning experiences at a farm in Alella, termly sport rotations at an external sports facility and participation in the Montessori Model United Nations.
It is the natural continuation of the Montessori journey: the same principles of independence and purpose, scaled to young adults preparing for life beyond school.
Discover SecondaryBMS is not an adapted conventional school. Every element — from the environment to the staff ratios — is built from Montessori principles from the ground up.

"A team of highly professional educators, kind people who are very approachable. You can feel the Montessori spirit the moment you walk in." — Joan-Ignasi, BMS Parent
We welcome families from all backgrounds who share our values of respect, curiosity, and community. Places are limited — we recommend expressing interest early, especially for Early Years environments.
We have limited spaces across all year groups. Start early and ensure a Montessori education for your child.
