Frequently asked questions about British Schools in Valencia
How does a British school differ from the Spanish education system?
The British system is based on practical learning, motivation and the development of personal skills. Instead of memorisation, students are encouraged to think critically and creatively. In addition, all subjects are taught in English, and students obtain internationally recognised qualifications that are accepted by universities around the world.
Do British schools in Valencia teach classes in English or are they bilingual (English and Spanish)?
Classes are taught entirely in English, following the British curriculum. However, students also receive lessons in Spanish Language and Culture to ensure full proficiency in both languages and to support their integration in both international and national contexts.
What qualifications do students obtain at the end of their studies at the British School?
At the end of Secondary Education, students obtain the equivalent of compulsory secondary education by sitting IGCSE examinations. During the two years of Sixth Form, students take A-Level examinations. Upon completion of this stage, they are awarded official British qualifications that provide direct access to universities in Spain, Europe and worldwide. In addition, the school offers personalised university guidance to support students in their choice of higher education.
Does the British school offer school transport?
Yes. The British School provides its own school transport service, connecting the three campuses in Alzira, Xàtiva and Gandia with surrounding towns and areas, ensuring students’ comfort and safety during their daily journeys.
What extracurricular and sports activities does the British School offer?
We offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, both artistic and sporting, including tennis, ballet, funky dance, music, drama, football, cooking and chess, among others. All activities are designed to encourage creativity, teamwork and the values promoted by the school.
How can I request a visit or attend an open day at the British School?
You can request a visit or attend one of our open days by contacting the school through the website contact form or by calling us on +34 96 258 93 68. Our admissions team will be happy to explain the educational project, show you the facilities and answer any questions you may have.
What are the advantages of studying at a British school in Spain compared to other education systems?
Studying at a British school in Spain offers an education based on the British Curriculum, internationally recognised for its practical approach, strong academic progression and focus on critical thinking. Compared to other systems, it promotes student independence, early immersion in English and continuous assessment that goes beyond rote learning, while remaining adapted to the Spanish educational context.
Can students from a British school access Spanish and European universities?
Yes. Students who complete their education at a British school can access Spanish universities as well as European and international universities. Thanks to British qualifications such as IGCSEs and A-Levels, along with established validation and university entry pathways, students are well prepared to continue their higher education in different academic systems.
From what age can students start at a British School and in which language are classes taught?
Students can start at a British School from early years, usually from the age of 2 or 3. English is the main language of instruction, used naturally in everyday learning, while Spanish and other languages are gradually introduced to ensure balanced linguistic development appropriate to each age group.
What is the difference between a British school and an international school?
A British school follows the official British curriculum, with programmes, assessments and qualifications that belong specifically to the UK education system. An international school, by contrast, may combine different curricula or methodologies. The key difference is that a British school offers a clear, structured and officially recognised academic pathway, leading to national and international university access.
Why choose a British school in Valencia?
Choosing a British school in Valencia means accessing a high-quality international education in a safe, well-connected environment with an excellent quality of life. Valencia combines strong educational traditions with an international outlook, making British schools in the area an ideal choice for families seeking academic excellence, genuine bilingual education and strong university preparation.
