Schools & Education
State, concertado, international and bilingual schools — how they work and how to choose the right one.
The Costa Blanca has an unusually rich school landscape — Spanish state, semi-private concertados, British, American, Norwegian and Dutch international schools. We help families cut through the noise.
The wrong school choice is hard to reverse
Deadlines, catchment areas, entrance exams and language requirements all vary by school and municipality. What works in Jávea may not work in Torrevieja.
- •Confusing enrolment calendars
- •Language of instruction unclear
