If you have already taken the first step towards wonderful Spain and are planning to buy real estate in Spain or rent an apartment, i.e. plan to live for some time or permanently in Spain and you have school-age children, then of course the question of choosing a school will arise, although many people primarily choose a school, and then they only search for housing in the area. After all, we all want our children to receive a decent, high-quality education, while it would be nice to live close to school.
Personally, we did just that: we chose a school (where education is in English and Spanish), and then we were able to buy a beautiful house on the Costa Blanca within our budget and 5 minutes from this school! Contact us if necessary, we will help you choose a school and arrange the necessary documents.
More than 50% of the foreign population lives on the Costa Blanca. This probably explains the abundance of educational schools, both state and international. In Spain, your child can start school at the age of 3 in any of the schools (public or private), regardless of whether he lives temporarily or permanently in Spain. Public school education is free, it should be noted that the school staff has a very friendly attitude towards children and a comfortable psychological climate in the school staff in general. Children adapt very quickly to a new environment.
International schools are very popular on the Costa Blanca among the indigenous population and foreigners, here are some of them:
