¡Bienvenido! 

It's my honor to welcome you to Escuela Bilingüe Internacional.

The moment you arrive at EBI, something special happens: you become part of a vibrant community where students don't just speak multiple languages—they discover how to think globally, collaborate authentically, and embrace the beauty of multiple cultures. They become not just bilingual, but fully biliterate by graduation. We take pride in delivering an immersive Spanish-English bilingual education, taught by world-class and native-speaking teachers, seamlessly integrated with the world-renowned International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary and Middle Years Programmes.

Our campuses buzz with curiosity and connection. Wander into any classroom and you'll discover students engaged in meaningful dialogue across languages and cultures, building the critical thinking skills and empathy essential for tomorrow's leaders. Our students are learning how to learn and engaged in an education based not on rote memorization and tests, but on projects, inquiry, and developing the skills necessary to navigate a dynamic world. 

You’ll see this in action at every step across our campuses in Oakland and Emeryville. You'll witness authentic joy in discovery, conversations flowing naturally between Spanish and English, and young minds addressing complex challenges with both intellect and heart. You'll encounter educators from diverse backgrounds who are deeply committed to each child's growth, alongside incredible families who are deeply committed to our mission and values. This is a learning community unlike any other!

As we mark our 20th anniversary this year, we celebrate two decades of educating our amazing students. This milestone represents not just our history, but our commitment to an even brighter future together.

Whether EBI is new to you or you've been part of our journey, I encourage you to explore our school, connect with our community, and discover the possibilities that await.

En comunidad,

Ben Griggs
Head of School
