Kensington School is an international school in the Pedralbes area of Barcelona, on Carrer dels Cavallers, that teaches the British curriculum. It was founded in 1966, remains a family-run school and has occupied its current purpose-built site since 1988. Pupils are taught from Nursery at age 3 through to Sixth Form at age 18, and the school gives a student-teacher ratio of 1:9.

• Early Years
• Junior School
• Senior School (IGCSE/GCSE)
• Sixth Form (AS and A Levels)

In the Senior School, Kensington follows the National Curriculum of England and Wales, with small changes for its international context. Students sit IGCSE/GCSE examinations with the Edexcel board at 16; the school is a recognised Edexcel centre. In the Sixth Form, students take AS and A2 Levels through Edexcel, usually in four subjects. Teaching is in English, so fluency in written and spoken English is needed at A Level, and EAL (English as an Additional Language) is among the Senior School subjects.

The school is academically non-selective, and many students work in their second or third language. Admission starts with an enquiry and previous school reports, followed by a visit; a trial day can also be arranged.
