At The British School of Córdoba, located in the historic city of Córdoba, Spain, students benefit from a rich international education rooted in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. A defining element of this experience is the IB Extended Essay (EE)—a 4,000-word independent research project that ignites intellectual curiosity and prepares students for the challenges of university and life in a globalized world. The Extended Essay empowers students to explore topics they are passionate about, whether in science, the humanities, or global affairs. With personalized guidance from experienced supervisors, students learn how to pose research questions, analyse complex information, and develop coherent, academic arguments.
But beyond academic growth, the Extended Essay cultivates lifelong skills: critical thinking, time management, self-discipline, and reflective learning. These attributes are essential for success in higher education and valued by universities around the world.
In a school community that embraces cultural diversity and global perspectives, the Extended Essay at The British School of Córdoba becomes more than a project—it’s a personal journey. It challenges students to think independently, engage with real-world issues, and communicate with clarity and purpose.
For internationally minded families seeking a school that nurtures both academic excellence and global readiness, The British School of Córdoba offers an experience that truly prepares students for the future.
