BACHILLERATO

Both courses consist on common compulsory elements such as Spanish and Catalan language and literature, English, Philosophy, General Science and History.

Besides these common subjects, each course has its’ own specific ones.

On the one hand, in the Science and Technology course, students take additional subjects as Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Technical Drawing.

On the other hand, in the Humanities and Social Sciences course, students take additional subjects as Economics, Geography, History of Art, Greek or Latin.

In the Bachillerato programmes the majority of subjects are taught in Spanish or Catalan. However, pupils continue to study English to a high level and are given the opportunity to prepare for Cambridge Advanced and Proficiency level examinations. Throughout the 2 year courses pupils study compulsory core subjects, which are common to both programmes, as well as course-specific subjects.

Students are also given the opportunity to prepare for Cambridge Proficiency level English during the Bachillerato years.

Once Bachillerato is over, some of our students decide to continue their studies in the Spanish university system while others choose to study in British, European or American universities. In either way, we help them in their decision-making process and during the application process.

Upon completion of their studies, Oak House School pupils have an extensive choice of further education options. Oak House pupils are self confident and willing to accept challenges and make the most of the opportunities on offer. Some pupils choose to continue their  studies  in  the  Spanish  university  system,  whilst  others  choose  British,  European  or  American  universities.  Both  the International Baccalaureate and the DBachillerato programmes prepare pupils to enter universities both in Spain and throughout the world.

Our university counsellor offers support to pupils when researching and considering university options. For those who choose to apply to  universities outside Spain, an additional application support service is offered.
