Escola de rugbi (BUC)

By Barcelona Universitari Club (BUC)

Rugby·Montjuïc (Sants-Montjuïc)

Founded in 1929, BUC plays at La Foixarda — a municipal ground the club itself manages, set in the hollow of an old quarry inside Montjuïc park. Alongside the age-grade teams the club runs inclusive, wheelchair and touch rugby, so there is a way in for most kids.

Escola de tennis taula infantil i juvenil, Centre Catòlic de Sants

By Centre Catòlic de Sants (secció tennis taula)

Table Tennis·Sants (Sants-Montjuïc)

At €25 a month it is one of the cheapest racket-sport options in the city, and it runs inside a real neighborhood club — the Centre Catòlic de Sants holds the Creu de Sant Jordi — rather than a commercial academy.

Ages Kids and teens (exact ages not stated)€25/mo

Escola de Tennis, Centre Municipal de Tennis Vall d'Hebron

By Centre Municipal de Tennis Vall d'Hebron (Eurofitness)

Tennis·Vall d'Hebron (Horta-Guinardó)

By Escola Luthier de Música i Dansa

Dance·Eixample

A classic Eixample music and dance school with more than 40 years of history, offering ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap and hip hop for kids alongside its music programs. Dance enrollment is free if your child also takes a music course.

Escoles esportives infantils (Bonasport)

By Club Bonasport

Multi-sport·Sant Gervasi

Kids sports schools at a leafy Sant Gervasi racquet club: tennis, padel, squash, table tennis, martial arts, hip hop and swimming, one session a week from age 3. The tennis school carries the stamp of coach Manuel Orantes; the padel school is run by Spanish champion Silvia Navarro.

Ages 3-18€48-149/mo

Enrollment open

Escoles Municipals de Música de Barcelona (5 schools)

By Ajuntament de Barcelona

Ages 4-18 core programs, plus baby/family workshops and adults€313 - €1,563 per year (ages 4-18), depending on program band

Barcelona's five city-run music schools (Can Fargues, Can Ponsic, Eixample - Joan Manuel Serrat, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu) teach instrument, musical language and group music at subsidized public prices. Places are limited and assigned each spring through a public preinscripció.

Escoleta de bàsquet (CB Sant Antoni Poble Sec)

By Club Bàsquet Sant Antoni Poble Sec (CBSAPS)

Basketball·Poble Sec

One of the cheapest ways into a real basketball club in Barcelona: €200 covers the full September-to-June season with two trainings a week — around €20 a month — and you can spread it over three payments or apply for an Ajuntament IBE grant on top.

Ages born 2019-2022€200/season

Enrollment open

Escoltes Catalans local scout groups (caus)

By Escoltes Catalans

Scouting

Not a class you buy but a group you join. Kids stay with the same cau and the same friends year after year, from age 6 into their teens, with weekend outings and summer camps built into the year rather than sold separately.

Ages 6-17 (Follets 6-9, Llops 9-12, Raiers 12-15, Pioners 15-17, Clan from 17)

Escuela de Ballet David Campos

By Escuela de Ballet David Campos

Dance·Sant Martí

This is a serious classical-ballet school rather than a weekly dance class. Children join a three-phase Iniciación at 4, and if they want to keep going there is a clear ladder all the way to pre-professional training — alumnus Aleix Martínez took gold at the Prix de Lausanne in 2008 and now dances with the Hamburg Ballet.

Ages 4-18 (Iniciación 4-9, Formación 9-15, Pre-Profesional 13-18)

Escuela de fútbol sala (CEM Bogatell)

By CEM Bogatell

Futsal·Poblenou (Sant Martí)

One of the clearer deals in town: the full 2026-27 price list, season calendar and enrollment dates are all published up front, which is rarer than it should be.

Ages 3-17€38.75/mo (boys); €40.40-€58/mo (girls, by category)

Enrollment open

Español en Familia

By Languages4Life

Languages·El Raval

Most Spanish lessons in Barcelona mean dropping your kid off. This one puts parents, kids and even grandparents in the same group of eight or fewer, then takes the lesson out of the classroom — ordering at a market stall, reading labels at a museum, talking your way through a plate of churros.

Ages all ages (family groups)

Enrollment open

Esplais Catalans (Esplac) local esplais

By Esplais Catalans (Esplac)

Esplai

Not a class you sign up for so much as a club you belong to. The same group of kids meets most Saturdays with the same volunteer monitors, year after year from age 5 into their teens, and the year builds toward camps and hiking routes the leaders plan themselves rather than a package you buy.

Ages 5-17

Extraescolar d'art per a nens

By El Burot

Art·Gràcia

A Gràcia workshop school where kids rotate through ceramics, painting and plastic arts (wood, papier-mâché, wicker, recycled materials) in blocks of five to six weeks. Groups are capped at eight children, so everyone gets hands-on time.

Ages 5-14€64/mo

Enrollment open

Extraescolar de Arte (process art for little kids)

By Little Makers

Art·Gràcia

A weekly hour of hands-on art in a friendly Gràcia studio: painting, modeling, collage and lots of materials, with the focus on the making rather than the finished piece. Kids come on their own, in two age groups.

Ages 3.5-9€55/mo

Enrollment open

Extraescolar de ceràmica per a nens

By La Cova del Art

Ceramics·Horta-Guinardó

A small art school in Horta where kids aged 10 to 15 spend two hours a week sculpting clay, making functional and decorative pieces that go through the kiln. Clay, tools, engobes, glazes and firings are all included.

Ages 10-15€70/mo

Extraescolar de cocina para niños y adolescentes

By The Playcook Kids

Cooking·Gràcia

One of the few after-school clubs in the city that runs out of a real professional kitchen: kids cook a full seasonal recipe with a chef each week and leave with dinner in hand.

Ages 6-16

Enrollment open

Extraescolar de tècnica mixta (dibuix i pintura)

By La Cova del Art

Art·Horta-Guinardó

A weekly art session in Horta where children learn to look at the world with an artist's eye, working with charcoal, pastels, acrylic markers, oils and watercolors. All materials come included in the monthly fee.

Ages 5-15€60/mo

Extraescolars de skate (Skatia)

By Skatia

Skateboarding·La Marina (Sants-Montjuïc) and Canyelles (Nou Barris)

Helmets and boards rent for €5 each (€7 for both), so a beginner can skate a full term before you buy any gear. Skatia also recommends one or two private lessons before joining a regular group, so kids start out with a solid, safe base.

€46/mo (1x/week) or €75/mo (2x/week)

Family language and culture courses for newcomers

By Mama Back to School

Languages·Poblenou

Good first stop for families whose kids are entering Catalan-medium school and need both languages, not just Spanish. Sara has lived abroad with her own family, so the lessons are built around the moments newcomers actually trip over — the school gate, parent-teacher meetings, the doctor's office, birthday invitations — rather than a generic textbook.

Ages kids, teens and adults

Enrollment open

First Steps (early years robotics and coding)

By Techlab Kids

Robotics·Sarrià-Sant Gervasi

One of the few tech extracurriculars in Barcelona that will take a three-year-old — and it does it properly, with 15-minute activity bursts, big-piece construction and floor robots rather than screens. Groups cap at eight, and the 5-6 coding track is built for kids who are only just starting to read.

Ages 3-6€59/mo

Enrollment open

Gimnàstica artística infantil (CE Sants Gimnàstic)

By Club Esportiu Sants Gimnàstic

Gymnastics·Sants

Neighborhood artistic gymnastics club in Sants for boys and girls from age 3, with training groups split by age and level from beginners to federated competition. Sessions work all the apparatus - floor, vault, asymmetric bars and beam - plus conditioning adapted to each group.

Ages 3+€30-86/month depending on the group's level and hours

Handbol base, CE Handbol BCN Sants

By Club Esportiu Handbol BCN Sants

Handball·Sants (Sants-Montjuïc)

Neighborhood handball club in Sants that welcomes kids at every level, from complete beginners to competitive teams. You can try a training session before signing up.

Enrollment open

Horta Esportiva swim courses (CEM Horta)

By Horta Esportiva / UE Horta

Swimming·Horta

The teaching pool is a separate 16m x 12.5m tank just 1.25m deep, so nervous beginners are never out of their depth. Saturday-morning slots run for every age band, not just babies, which helps if weekday evenings are already spoken for.

Ages 6 months-17€86-€98.85 per trimester for members, €100.55-€116.85 for non-members (one day a week)

Enrollment open

Infants and Families Music Classes

By Music Lessons Barcelona

Music·Eixample Esquerra

Toddler music groups in Barcelona are usually in Catalan or Spanish; this one runs entirely in English, with the grown-up staying in the room for the whole hour and real instruments — violins, not just shakers — put into small hands.

Ages 2-5

Enrollment open

Institut français Barcelona, French courses for kids

By Institut français de Barcelona

Languages·Sant Gervasi

It's the French state's own cultural institute, so classes come with specialist native teachers, an official Institut français certificate at the end, and a year of access to the on-site media library. Parents can even take an A1 course on Saturday mornings while their child is in class.

Ages 4-10 (initiation 4-6, general French 6-10, francophone groups 4-6 and 6-10)€615/year (ages 4-6, 45h), €775/year (ages 6-10, 60h)

Enrollment open

Judo infantil, Club Judo Condal

By Club Judo Condal

Martial Arts·Hostafrancs (Sants-Montjuïc)

Almost sixty years in the same small Hostafrancs dojo, and the timetable shows it: kids train in narrow age bands (4-7, 8-10, 11-13, 14-17) rather than one catch-all children's class, so a five-year-old is never on the mat with teenagers.

Ages 4-17

Kids and teens dance classes (ballet to hip-hop)

By Dance esCool

Dance·Sant Gervasi - Galvany

The whole year points at a full-scale theatre festival

Ages 4+€55/mo

Enrollment open

Kids Climbing School, Sharma Climbing BCN

By Sharma Climbing

Climbing·Poblenou (Sant Martí)

Takes kids all the way from 4 to 17 at Chris Sharma's own gym, so a child can stay with the same school for a decade. Groups cap at ten, gear is included, and students get 50% off day passes to keep practicing outside class.

Ages 4-17€49-65/mo (1 day/week), €69-85/mo (2 days/week)

Enrollment open

Kids martial arts (Pandas, Tigers, Lions, Juniors)

By Golden Kyu

Martial Arts·Sarria and Les Corts

Sarria is one of the few Barcelona dojos running kids groups on Saturday and Sunday mornings as well as weekday evenings, so the class can slot around school or around a busy weekday timetable.

Ages 3-15

Kids&Us Barcelona

By Kids&Us

Languages·Multiple

The best-known English academy chain for young kids in Spain, teaching English the way children pick up their mother tongue. Twenty-five academies across Barcelona city — including dedicated Tweens&Teens branches for the 9-18 stages — mean there is nearly always one within walking distance.

Ages 1-18

Enrollment open

Kumon Barcelona

By Kumon

Math·Multiple

The Japanese self-learning method for math, reading and English, with 13 centers across Barcelona (plus one just over the city line in L'Hospitalet). Kids come in twice a week for a short assigned session — about 30 minutes per program — and do a worksheet set at home every day.

Ages from age 2€78-85/mo per program

Enrollment open

L'Escola de Música de Barcelona

By L'Escola de Música de Barcelona

Music·Dreta de l'Eixample

Eixample music school teaching since 1981, founded by the Trio de Barcelona (Gerard Claret, Lluís Claret and Albert Attenelle) and awarded the Catalan Premi Nacional de les Arts in 1999. Kids start with Sensibilització from age 3 and Iniciació at 5-7, then follow the elemental and professional tracks with instrument and musical language classes on weekday afternoons.

Ages 3-18 (Sensibilització from 3, Iniciació 5-7, Preparatori 7-8, then Elemental and Professional levels; separate adult classes 18+)

Enrollment open

L'Escola de Músics (Juan Pedro Carrero)

By L'Escola de Músics i Juan Pedro Carrero

Ages 1-18 (Sensibilització 1-5, Elemental 6-11, Professional 12-18)

Few Barcelona music schools carry a child all the way from a first rhythm class at age one to Generalitat-authorized professional study at 18 — and this one does it as a neighborhood institution rather than a conservatory, with a Medalla d'Honor de Barcelona (2016) for its work in the Raval. The draw for kids is how much of the learning happens in a group: choirs, combos, a big band and orchestras that play out around the city.

Language courses for children and teenagers

By Academia Avanç

Languages·Poblenou and Esquerra de l'Eixample

A neighborhood language academy running small-group courses for children and teens in English, French, Spanish, Catalan and German. Groups are sorted by age and level, capped at 8 students, taught by certified native teachers, and run from September to June with intensives in July and September.

Ages Children and teenagersFrom €68/month for the children and teenagers group course

Enrollment open

Little Rock School (Rock School Barcelona)

By Rock School Barcelona

Music·Sant Andreu

Groups cap at six kids and the school runs a pickup service from schools on the same block, so a weekday class can slot straight into the after-school run without a detour.

Ages 5-11Group: €210/trimester (1 hr/week, 3-6 kids). Individual: €95/month (45 min) or €120/month (1 hr)

Lluïsos d'Horta kids sections

By Lluïsos d'Horta

Multi-activity·Horta

Two real, long-running schools rather than a rotating menu of one-off workshops: the Escola de Teatre takes kids from 6 all the way to 18, and the table tennis section has fielded national-division teams since 1936. At €55 a trimester it is among the cheapest structured after-school options in Horta.

Ages 6-18 (theatre workshops); table tennis school from 10€55 per trimester (theatre workshops); table tennis from €50

Opens soon

Lluïsos de Gràcia kids sections and workshops

By Lluïsos de Gràcia

Multi-activity·Vila de Gràcia

One address covers most of a Gràcia childhood: a one-year-old can start with music and movement, a seven-year-old can do judo or chess two afternoons a week, and a teen can stay on to 18 in the esplai or the scout group — all in Catalan, at neighborhood prices (most workshops run €25-60 a month).

Ages 1-18, varies by activity€25-64/month depending on the activity

Enrollment open

Logiscool Barcelona Les Corts

By Logiscool

Coding·Les Corts

Barcelona's first Logiscool, on a quiet Les Corts side street. Kids code on Logiscool's own Scoolcode platform and the ladder runs a long way: a 7-year-old starts with block coding and games, a teenager ends up in Python, Unity and AI, so siblings years apart can both be placed. Book the free demo lesson first, that's where the center walks you through groups, timetable and fees.

Ages 7-18

Enrollment open

Memory, Formación Integral Infantil

By MEMORY La Escuela de Teatro Musical

Theatre·Dreta de l'Eixample

Musical theatre school in the Eixample training kids aged 4 to 12 in acting, singing, jazz dance and tap. Groups are formed by age and profile, there are open classes at the end of the first term, and the year closes with a show in a theater in front of an audience. Memory has been running since 1994.

Ages 4-12

Enrollment open

Mini Esports (Kinobs)

By Kinobs

Multi-sport·Sarrià

Kinobs' other sports start at I4 or later, so this is the rare after-school option that takes children from their first year of infant school — and it runs outdoors in nearby parks rather than in a school hall.

Ages 3-6 (school years I3-I5)€50/mo (1 day) to €80/mo (2 days)

Enrollment open

Musical theatre year course (Mini Kids, Kids, Junior)

By Show Kids

Theatre·Sarrià

A musical theatre school founded in New York City in 2019 that has recently expanded to Barcelona, where it runs weekly afternoon classes in Sarrià plus an extracurricular at La Miranda International School. Groups are banded by age — Mini Kids, Kids and Junior — and work through singing, dancing and acting with scenes and songs from Broadway musicals, building across the school year to a final show. The Barcelona branch is new and still thin on published detail: the weekly timetable and pickup arrangements are up, but Show Kids publishes no start date, no term dates and no prices for the year course, so contact them directly before counting on a place.

Ages 4-14

Natació Infantil (Claror Can Caralleu)

By Claror

Swimming·Sarrià-Sant Gervasi

Claror's first swim course for ages 2 to 5, one 45-minute session a week from October to June. Groups are formed by age and ability (I2-I3 and I4-I5) with a maximum of eight children per instructor, and kids move up as their confidence in the water grows.

Ages 2-5€26.86-36.87/mo

Enrollment open

Natació Nadons (Claror)

By Claror

Swimming·Eixample)

Parent and baby swim sessions that ease little ones into the water while building motor skills and family bonding. 30-minute classes across several Claror clubs.

Ages 3 months-2€18.20-26.86/mo

Enrollment open

Parkour Kids and Teens, Ourpark Academy

By Ourpark Parkour Academy Barcelona

Parkour·Eixample (near Glòries)

Indoor parkour academy teaching kids from age 4 to move safely, with small groups and personal goals for teens. Classes run in a dedicated facility on Consell de Cent.

Ages 4-16€45/month for 1 class a week (€65 for 2, €80 for 3, €95 for 4)

Enrollment open

Patinatge Artístic (Kinobs)

By Kinobs

Skating·Sarrià

Not a learn-to-roll class: kids join a skating team, work on spins, flexibility and rhythm, and perform a group choreography on stage at the end of every term. The 7-16 range means a child can stay with it all the way through secondary school.

Ages 7-16€47/mo (1 day) to €75/mo (2 days)

Enrollment open

Peón Negro Club d'Escacs

By Peón Negro

Chess·Sants

A chess club in Sants with its own kids chess school and discounted classes for club members. A handy option for families on the west side of the city.

Ages 5-13 years€36.95-46.95/month

Enrollment open

Peona i Peó Club d'Escacs

By Peona i Peó

Chess·Horta-Guinardó

A neighborhood chess club in the Guinardó that opens Monday to Thursday evenings for classes across three time bands, plus a Friday Espai Social where members drop in for friendly games. Warm, local, and long known for pushing to get more girls into the game.

Private in-home language classes for children

By Astex

Languages·citywide (office in Sarrià)

Astex is a Spain-wide language and study-abroad company, founded in 1986, that sends a private teacher to your home for one-on-one classes with children aged 4 to 17. The languages it publishes for in-home kids classes are English, French, German and Chinese, taught by qualified native or bilingual teachers, with lessons adapted to each child's level, school year and age. You pick the days and times, and you can start at any point in the year. Other languages, school-subject tutoring and cheaper online lessons are quoted on request.

Ages 4-17From €34/h

Enrollment open

Private Spanish tutoring (AE Teaching)

By AE Teaching

Languages·citywide (Barcelona city only)

The Spanish here is pitched at the IB Spanish A and B syllabus, not just conversation practice — which is the thing your child is actually graded on if they are at an international school. And because AE Teaching already has arrangements to teach on several Barcelona campuses, a tutor can sometimes meet your child at school straight after the bell rather than at home.

Ages 3-18

Enrollment open

Projecte 5 PALS multi-sport (Club Natació Barcelona)

By Club Natació Barcelona

Multi-sport·Barceloneta

Most Barcelona clubs make a four-year-old pick one sport. 5 PALS keeps a swimming base and rotates everything else around it — pre-karate at four and five, then water polo, diving and athletics from six — so a child samples the club's sections before committing to one. And unlike the club's swim courses, members and non-members pay exactly the same.

Ages 4-12€52-60/mo

Robotics, coding and digital creation annual courses

By Techlab Kids

Coding·Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and Les Corts

Twelve courses on one continuous ladder, so a child who starts building LEGO robots at six can still be here at fifteen writing Python. Each robotics level is split into I and II, so returning students aren't repeating the year they just did, and kids work in pairs rather than alone. Anyone with a year of robotics behind them can also try out for Techlab's separate Robot STEAM Training Club, which trains teams for the World Robot Olympiad.

Ages 6-15€66.60/mo

Enrollment open

Sarky F.C. football school (Kinobs)

By Kinobs

Football·Sarrià

Most neighborhood football extracurriculars stop at either training or competition; Sarky lets you pick. You can keep it to one relaxed session a week, step up to a competing team with weekend fixtures, or add individual technical coaching — all at the same pitch, with age-group teams that carry a child from preschool through secondary.

Ages 4-16€47-€82/mo depending on days and matches

Enrollment open

Science club workshops (weekly extraescolars)

By Galileo Galilei Club de Ciencias

Science·Sarrià - Sant Gervasi

A non-profit science club in Sarrià running weekly hands-on workshops in physics, chemistry, biology, geology, astronomy and more, using guided inquiry so kids figure things out themselves. There are also 3D design, scientific illustration, inventors and chess strands, plus an English-language Science Lab.

Ages 5-12

Enrollment open

Spanish Lessons for Kids and Teenagers

By Dime Barcelona

Languages·Sant Gervasi (El Putxet i el Farró)

Small Spanish classes for kids and teens at a neighborhood school between Gràcia and Sant Gervasi. Lessons lean on games, role play and topics from the children's daily lives, so new arrivals see the language working right away.

Ages 7-17€38/h

Enrollment open

Swim classes for babies and kids (Penguins)

By Penguins Barcelona

Swimming·Sant Gervasi - La Bonanova

Penguins is a swim school built only for babies, kids and expecting mothers, with small warm pools, salt-treated water and levels named after penguin colors that children move up through. Classes are 40 minutes, once a week and in small groups, from water-familiarity sessions for babies with a parent in the pool to stroke technique and squad-style training for older kids. Three of the four centers are in Barcelona — Bonanova, Tuset and the Betània-Patmos school in Sarrià — and the fourth is in Sant Cugat del Vallès, outside the city.

Ages Babies from 0 and kids up to 16€116.60/month (Baby, White and Green Penguins); €107.30/month (Blue and Orange Penguins at Bonanova); €103.20/month (Betània-Patmos)

Enrollment open

Swim school, levels by age (Club Natació Barcelona)

By Club Natació Barcelona

Swimming·Barceloneta

Most swim schools sort children by age. Here a level test on the first day decides the group, so a confident seven-year-old isn't held back and a nervous nine-year-old isn't thrown in at the deep end. It is also one of the few programs at a Barceloneta members' club with a published non-member rate, and the same club can carry a child from a four-month parent-and-baby class all the way to its competitive squads.

Ages 4 months-12€89-191/quarter (1 day/week)

Taller de Músics, Escola de Música

By Taller de Músics

Ages Escola Jove 12-17; the school's open Programa Lliure and flamenco school also take students from 12 up

This is a working musicians' school, not a conservatory. From the first year a teenager is in a band every week, playing repertoire the group picks itself, and the year ends on stage at the school's Fi Fest rather than in a graded exam — the right fit for the kid who wants to gig rather than perfect a classical piece.

TBKids

By TBKids

Robotics·Eixample Esquerra

One of the few robotics centers that starts at three, and it does it without screens — the little ones build in a physical "TechnoLab" before any tablet appears. The free trial is genuinely free and can be taken mid-year, so you can try a group in January rather than committing every September.

Ages 3-18

Enrollment open

Tinkering & Making (STEAM maker club)

By Little Makers

STEAM·Gràcia

A weekly maker session where kids design, build and solve problems with real tools, recycled materials and loose parts. Sits between art and engineering, in two age groups.

Ages 7-12€60/mo

Enrollment open

Xamfrà, Centre de Música i Escena del Raval

By Fundació L'ARC Música

By Zamaioga, Centro de Yoga Iyengar

From age 8 kids build their own pathway, mixing ensembles, an instrument, dance or theater rather than signing up for a single class — and they perform, on real stages, with the rest of the center.

Ages 4-20

Enrollment open

Yoga Iyengar para niños y adolescentes

Yoga·Les Corts

An Iyengar yoga center in Les Corts whose teachers are all certified by the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune and belong to the Spanish Iyengar Yoga Association. There is no separate kids class: children join the regular Level 1-2 classes from age 10, in a personalized setting, and parents can practice alongside them. A calm option for older kids who want something quieter than team sport.

Ages 10+€57.50-€62.50/month for 4 classes; €84-€90/month for 8 classes
