hey say that the origin of things always defines them. When something begins, there is a driving force, and this will be a trail that remains throughout history and without too many modifications. A trail that is palpable in each and every one of the pupils who have passed through the British School of Cordoba, a stamp that makes us unique and sets us apart from other schools in Spain.
Thus, our story began more than twenty years ago on an estate on the outskirts of the city of Cordoba whose name we can all remember: La Colecilla.
And as in the song: the birds were singing and the clouds were rising, giving shelter to what would become our first sixty pupils?
Nothing is stronger than the love of parents for their children! And it was then that this group of educated but unformed adults, tired of a traditional education system without great long-term results, chose to materialise an idea that in their heads had shape, colour and textures.
Thus, these pioneering and courageous parents embarked on a wonderful adventure and began to give shape to what is today one of the best British schools in the country.
The results have been tangible since the first graduating class. These students now travel the world, with the security of knowing several languages and having the tools for what is to come.
The British School of Cordoba was born from a dream, an impossible dream that with dedication and care was transformed into a vital mark that each and every one of our students always remember with positive nostalgia: ‘This school has given me the necessary education to face the labour market with determination and confidence, the visual breadth to understand a world that is constantly changing and the most important values in life, such as the sense of justice, tolerance and honesty’ E.S.
