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.

Contents

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. Therefore, international School of Barcelona became a Cognita school, changing its name for BSB Sitges and becoming the second campus of BSB at that time.

After the change of ownership, the school currently known as BSB Sitges became a Pre-Nursery, Early years and Primary school for students from 2 to 11 years of age. The previous offer of Secondary and Sixth Form is now delivered at the sister campus BSB Castelldefels where all BSB Sitges students continue their education when they graduate from Primary. It is no longer a boarding school.
