The school

International House Terrassa was founded in 1971 and affiliated to the worldwide IH World Organization in 1977.

The building is situated in the commercial and historic centre of town, just off the main Rambla in La Rasa. Occupying the whole of a three-storey house designed by the architect Lluis Muncunill, the school has a student café, study centre and patio area. The entire building is also air-conditioned.

English, German, French, Spanish and Catalan are offered throughout the academic year. The school offers a wide range of General Courses as well Exam Preparation Courses. As an alternative to group classes, there is the option of private classes, tailor-made to suit the linguistic needs of the individual student. Off the school premises we offer both general and business English for companies.
