About Barcelona
International House Barcelona
Barcelona
International House Barcelona was founded in 1972 and has since developed into one of the most prestigious private language schools in Spain.
The school is situated in the city centre on 6 floors of a large corner building. Apart from the reception and administrative offices, there are 40 air-conditioned classrooms, a computer room, a library and study centre, a conference room, a bar which is open all day providing hot and cold food and drinks, and a terrace.
Staff turnover is relatively small. However, employment opportunities do exist for teachers with experience and qualifications teaching young learners off-site and in companies off-site. Teachers and trainers with specialist skills (e.g. writing materials or IT skills) are also welcome to apply.
