The history of British School Alzira-X\u00e0tiva-Gandia<\/strong> is a testimony of vision, commitment and an educational project born from the heart. A project that, from the beginning, has wanted to be more than a school: a home of learning, growth and values that will always accompany all our students. <\/p>\n\n

Opening of British School Alzira <\/h4>

It was 1997 when Mrs. Amparo Ram\u00f3n Mart\u00ednez, with a great passion for teaching and convinced that every child deserves to receive a quality education in a stimulating environment, started the first school of the group: the British School Alzira. It was here that the values were sown which today continue to be the pillars on which all our daily work is based: academic excellence, personalized treatment, linguistic immersion and human closeness (both with the students and with the families and professionals who make up our British family). <\/p>

Opening of British School X\u00e1tiva<\/h4>

In 2009, together with her husband and son, Do\u00f1a Amparo expanded the educational bet with the creation of British School X\u00e0tiva, with the same illusion of offering a modern British system and individualized attention, extended and offered its educational offer to new areas.<\/p>

Start of the British School Gandia <\/h4>

Later, in 2015, British School Gandia was born, as the culmination of the dream of bringing the excellence of the British School Group to the Safor and its surroundings, responding to a growing demand of families committed to a high level international education. A modern campus, first class facilities, diversity of nationalities and a consolidated pedagogical model are the features that mark its distinctive profile. <\/p>
