"There is a significant classical component to the school as seen in the study of Latin, philosophy and arts. The importance of instilling a strong work ethic, making appropriate life choices, and the spirituality of life are emphasized. This is balanced with a contemporary and practical view of technology, physical fitness, and recreation". Susan K. Nicklas , Report on the Candidacy Visit, MSA 1998.

Last November, one of our faculty members, Mr. Iain Clark, our math teacher, was part of an MSA Accreditation team that went to evaluate the ES International School of Barcelona.
It was a wonderful and very enriching experience for Mr. Clark.

We would like to thank Mr. Ben Weinberg (Headmaster) and Mr. Mike Nugent (Middle School Director) and all the faculty members that so warmly received us and let us enjoy their lessons.
