FEM PINYA
This is a Catalan expression that comes from the sporting event known as "human towers." In order to reach greater heights, you need to work together at the base to create a solid structure.

BEAT EXPECTATIONS
We have several partners - students, universities, faculty, parents. Our goal is for them all to feel that working with Barcelona SAE is a pleasure and that we go above and beyond what's expected.

CREATE "BUEN ROLLO" OR GOOD VIBES
Promote a welcoming environment that is fun to work in and that all partners can sense it.

IGNITE PASSION FOR BARCELONA
We are the Barcelona specialists and we all feel a passion for this city that goes beyond the normal...and we want everyone else to feel the same.

ENRICH LIVES AND CREATE CURIOSITY
We are in this field to give students the international experiences that transformed our own lives, opened our eyes to a bigger world, and gave us a different perspective on life. Part of the beauty of studying or interning abroad is the curiosity that is ignited to learn new things.

INFUSE EDUCATION. ALL THE TIME. SIEMPRE.
We are first and foremost international educators so everything we do has an end goal of education and better yet, with an international twist. This is true for our students and staff. Fostering language acquisition is a large part of that goal.

BE FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL
For as fun and approachable we are, we also want to be known as professional. The opposite is also true, for as professional as we are, we also want to be known as fun and approachable.

CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE AND INNOVATE
We are a young, professional company with an innovative, start-up spirit. We never do anything because "it's the way it's always been done."

BE PREPARED. THEN BE PREPARED FOR IT ALL TO CHANGE.
We are a cross-cultural team which means that we approach the cultural dimension of "time" in different ways. Where, in general, Americans value having things prepared in advance, Spaniards in general value nimble, last-minute spontaneity. We aim for both.
