The school year in Spain is divided into trimesters: September to December, January to March and April to June. You will have two weeks of Christmas holidays, one week of Easter holidays in March/April and every now and then a long weekend due to a public holiday. Summer holidays are from the end of June to mid September.

In Spain you will graduate after 12 years. Depending on your age, you will attend either the third or fourth year of secondary school (3rd or 4th de la E.S.O.) or the first or second year of higher secondary school (1st or 2nd del Bachillerato).

If you choose a public school, we will first find you a host family and then enroll you in the nearest school, so you don’t have a long commute. The school day usually starts around 8:30 a.m. and ends around 2:00 p.m. You’ll have lunch with your host family.

Our selected private schools are mostly international schools following American, British, or Spanish curricula. This way, students combine top-quality education in English with the Mediterranean lifestyle of Spain: sun, language, and school – all in one!

All schools offer excellent support and have outstanding reputations. We visit the schools regularly and carefully assess them – not only for quality, but also for their atmosphere and warmth.

Just get in touch. We’ll be happy to advise you.

The structured school day typically runs until around 5:00 p.m., including a shared lunch in the school’s own cafeteria. Students receive personalized support – from customized timetables to individual academic guidance.

Most schools offer an international curriculum, featuring modern teaching methods and small class sizes – ideal conditions for successful learning and experiencing cultural diversity.

In most cases, host families are selected directly by the school. These families often have children who attend the same school, creating a familiar environment and a strong connection to the school community from the very beginning.

Living and Learning in One Place:
Our Spanish boarding schools offer young people a true home away from home. Students live directly on campus – in bright, well-furnished rooms with excellent facilities. A dedicated staff member is available around the clock to ensure that everyone feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

Outside of class, there’s plenty of time for sports, leisure activities, and studying together.

The international student body creates an open and vibrant community where friendships grow across all borders.
