International School of Barcelona, abbreviated as ISB, and formerly known as ESCAAN International School, was a Private international primary and secondary school, with an option for boarding, located in a quiet residential overlooking the town of Sitges, Catalonia, an autonomous community in the northeastern corner of Spain.
ISB was acquired by the international educational group Cognita on 1st January 2016. As from September, the school was integrated as a new campus under the brand of The British School of Barcelona.
