After a year in boarding school in the United States in Grade 9, Spanish-born Clara Ventura Cabarrocas ‘20 returned to Barcelona and joined the ASB community in Grade 10. She is currently studying Medicine at the University of Navarra.

“I miss going to school. There were many days I was super excited to go to ASB, even though I had a lot of work. Seeing my friends and learning was exciting. Having teachers who cared for us as students made all the difference.”



Despite the current Covid challenges, Clara has been able to attend classes in person at university. “The only difference this year is that we will not be able to participate in summer courses abroad,” she shared. However, she is enjoying the program immensely and is very pleased with her decision to follow her heart to study Medicine.



“My favorite memory from ASB would probably be our graduation because it was so emotional. I have such a strong connection with our school community. It feels like family.”



Service has always been something Clara has gravitated towards. In addition to supporting the RefugArt program at school, she was also involved in a local organization, El Banc dels Aliments, which provides food to people in need in Barcelona.
