Teachers are the heart and soul of any school. At BFIS we are immensely proud of our staff who ensure that our school is a professionally satisfying place to learn, teach and work. That is why BFIS is dedicated to providing its community of educators with a wide range of professional development activities here at school (internal and external) to ensure they are on the leading edge of worldwide developments in best educational practices, technology, and the curriculum they deliver. BFIS teachers participate in workshops and conferences all over the world.
Barcelona is a wonderful city for both single staff and those with families. It has something for everyone from the mountains to the ocean and from sports to arts and cultural activities. Barcelona has it all. With a fantastic public transport system staff can choose to walk, cycle or take the tram to work. The staff are professionally and personally connected. Many socialize and travel together and always hit our local for tapas and drinks on Friday after school.
Buddies
In the Spring before you arrive you will be assigned a BFIS buddy. Their role will be to answer any questions about living in Barcelona and will be available for you those first few weeks and months as support at those times when you are having a cultural moment! When school starts you will have a School buddy who can help you orientate to the school culture, systems and processes.
