About international schools in Las Palmas, Spain

British-curriculum international schools in Las Palmas and greater Gran Canaria generally deliver the National Curriculum for England through clearly defined key stages and commonly prepare pupils for Cambridge IGCSE and A-level programmes, while many also integrate Spanish language tuition or elements of the Spanish curriculum to support local progression. Instruction is usually English-medium from Early Years up to Sixth Form, with Spanish taught as a core subject and additional language support available for newcomers. Annual tuition for day places at private British-type schools on the island commonly falls in the mid-four- to low-five-thousand euro range, though fees vary by school, age group and whether extra services (transport, lunches, special language support) are included. Admissions typically align with the September academic year but schools run rolling enrolment and expect families to contact admissions well before the intended start date to check availability and required documents.

FAQs for Spain

How does the British curriculum used in Las Palmas differ from the Spanish system?
British-curriculum schools follow the National Curriculum for England with staged progression through Key Stages and externally examined qualifications such as Cambridge IGCSEs and A-levels, which are widely recognised for university entry overseas and in Spain. Many schools on Gran Canaria combine that British pathway with structured Spanish language teaching or offer dual programmes so pupils can meet Spanish system requirements if families choose that route.
What ages and school stages are typically available?
Most British-style international schools on Gran Canaria offer provision from Early Years (nursery/reception) through primary and secondary up to Sixth Form (approximately age 2 or 3 up to 17 - 18). Provision and exact age bands differ by school, so check each school’s published entry years and whether they run a continuous all-through programme or separate campuses for primary and secondary.
Is instruction all in English, and what support is there for children who don’t speak English?
Instruction in British-curriculum schools is principally English-medium, with Spanish taught as a core subject and often additional modern languages available. Schools commonly offer English as an Additional Language (EAL) support or induction programmes for non-English speakers; ask admissions how language support is structured and whether it is included in fees.
How much should we budget for fees and extra costs?
Published fee examples for British-type day schools in Las Palmas and Gran Canaria commonly fall in the region of roughly €5,000 - €8,000 per pupil per year, with lower or higher figures possible depending on age, campus and whether boarding or extended services are provided. Expect additional, often separate charges for registration/enrolment deposits, school meals, transport, uniforms, exams and optional extra-curricular or language support, so request a full fees schedule when you contact admissions.
When should we start the admissions process and what documents will schools request?
Begin enquiries as early as six to twelve months before your intended start date for the widest choice, especially for popular year groups, but many schools accept applications on a rolling basis and can place children mid-year where space exists. Schools typically ask for a completed application form, the child’s passport, recent school reports (last one or two years), birth certificate and immunisation records; official translations may be required for documents not in English or Spanish.
