From 20–26 July 2026, our IB students took learning beyond the classroom as they immersed themselves in a rich blend of service, culture, creativity, adventure, and reflection as part of their 2026 CAS experience.
From exploring the colourful architecture of Park Güell and the historic streets of the Gothic Quarter to discovering the symbolism of La Sagrada Família, every experience offered a new opportunity to learn, connect, and grow. Students also challenged themselves with a hike up Tibidabo, explored the legacy of FC Barcelona at Camp Nou, and expressed their creativity through a hands-on street art project.
The experience extended beyond sightseeing. At Alella Green Tech, students worked alongside local volunteers and experienced sustainable farming firsthand. They also took part in cultural challenges, learned Gaudí’s famous Trencadís technique, prepared traditional Tapas and Paella, and embraced Spanish culture through Salsa and Rumba Catalana
Most importantly, Barcelona brought the IB CAS philosophy to life. Through service, collaboration, creativity, and reflection, our students demonstrated initiative, perseverance, communication, and cultural awareness while developing a deeper understanding of global citizenship.
Barcelona 2026 was more than a trip. It was learning in action, growth through experience, and an opportunity for our students to discover what they are capable of.
