SCHELLHAMMER BUSINESS SCHOOL · HISTORY & MISSION
Education with purpose.
Independent minds.
A more responsible future.
SINCE 2009
A school built around
human potential.
Founded in 2009, Schellhammer Business School is a private educational institution in southern Spain. Its purpose is to prepare students for the challenges of business and life through education that combines knowledge, independent thinking and personal development.
From the beginning, SBS has placed human values at the heart of learning: integrity, responsibility, respect for life and an understanding of the wider world.
Our approach draws on Swiss educational methods, with classes taught in English for an international community of learners.
OUR MISSION
Think independently.
Act responsibly.
Our mission is to help students develop their talents and potential while preparing for a fast-changing world.
That means looking beyond business techniques to the people, societies and environments affected by our decisions. Ethics, sustainability and responsible behaviour belong at the centre of that education.
What this means
for your education.
The freedom to question.
Open enquiry and freedom of expression are central to our philosophy. Students are encouraged to examine assumptions, question received ideas and develop their own informed understanding, free from dogmatism.
Room to grow as a person.
Education is also a process of self-discovery. SBS places importance on holistic personal development, self-awareness and emotional wellbeing, alongside academic learning. Teachers, too, are part of a lifelong process of learning and growth.
More than one way to think.
Analytical and critical thinking sit alongside creativity, intuition, reflection and an exploration of meaning. We encourage students to see connections between subjects and to consider the human factors behind every business decision.
Learning connected to life.
Practical, creative and reflective activities bring ideas into focus. Industry visits, networking and support with internships help students connect their studies with the working world.
Explore student activitiesAn international perspective.
SBS has welcomed students from more than 120 nationalities. International professors bring business experience to the classroom, while students encounter different cultures, perspectives and ways of thinking.

Values that shape
our direction.
Honesty, humility and respect guide the school’s educational outlook. We encourage responsibility for our own choices, openness towards others and a willingness to keep learning.
Our philosophy considers the relationship between business, politics, economics and society, and asks how future leaders can contribute to a more sustainable world. Personal development and professional preparation are part of the same journey.
Independent in outlook.
Committed to quality.
SBS operates with independent management and its own internal approach to educational quality. This independence supports the school’s choice of teaching methods and its focus on the challenges students will face in the future.
