What each stage offers.

These summaries replace the old dead programme links and keep families on the BMS website while giving them the key information from the current site.

Summer Camp 2026

The 2026 camp theme is Go for Gold!, inspired by the Olympic Games. Children aged 3–12 take part in four weeks of sports, play and collaborative challenges that promote teamwork, creativity, inclusion and fun.

Theme story

Children enter the world of Luminaris. Younger children become explorers following clues to find the Olympic Torch, while older children help restore the values that keep Luminaris in balance: peace, inclusion, sustainability, communication, creativity and cooperation.

Educational programme

The camp uses the Olympic Games as a playful, creative and participatory way to promote solidarity, effort, respect, cooperation, active participation, fun, experiential learning, belonging and connection with the environment. Activities take place in Catalan, Spanish and English.

Weeks: 29 Jun–3 Jul · 6–10 Jul · 13–17 Jul · 20–24 Jul
Schedule: half day 9:00–15:00 or full day 9:00–17:00
Weekly fees: €236.55 half day · €319.80 full day · catering €48.75 · excursions €32.50
Ages: 3–12 years old
Curriculum & Enrichment

Montessori depth,
recognised standards.

Our curriculum is developmental rather than age-driven — and fully integrated with the frameworks families need for continuity and recognition anywhere in the world.

The Montessori curriculum

Each environment follows the full Montessori scope and sequence for its plane of development — from sensorial and practical life in the Children's House to Cosmic Education in Primary and land, enterprise and community work in the Adolescent Community.

Integrated frameworks

The Montessori curriculum is mapped to the Early Years Foundation Stage and the English National Curriculum, and delivers Catalan and Spanish language and literature as required for full homologation — so learning records are recognised by British, Spanish and Catalan authorities alike.

Assessment that supports growth

Progress is evidenced through observation, portfolios, projects and reflective dialogue — with selective, age-appropriate formal assessment as students move towards externally recognised qualifications.

Specialist enrichment

Dedicated specialists in Catalan, Spanish, Art, Music and PE work across Early Years, Primary and Secondary — alongside a rich programme of extracurricular activities and the summer camp.

Community projects

Learning connects to the real world through long-running community partnerships — including Fundació Ánima, VHIO and the Race Against Hunger — and through student-led initiatives such as Montessori Model United Nations.

An individualised curriculum

Every child works from an individual learning plan built on observation: lessons are presented when each child is ready, work is chosen with growing independence, and progress is reviewed continuously with families — so the curriculum follows the child, never the other way round.
