Education/Schools
Many younger families are coming to live in Spain and looking
at the various ways of educating their children
There are two options:
1. Registering your child in the Spanish state school system
that is what we have done with no problem what so ever and
our boy is 8 years and our girl is 6 years there head teacher
speaks good English and there are other English boys and
girls in there school
2. Registering your child at an international school
The choice between an ‘international’ education
and the Spanish state system is a matter of personal taste.The
ages of the children may be a factor to consider. Children
attending a local state school will be taught totally in
Spanish, or the local dialect (e.g. Valencian). Therefore,
younger children find it much easier to adapt to being thrust
into the system than those approaching or within the secondary
school age.
In areas where there are many foreigners, it is likely that
there will be, other English-speaking children in local
state schools who will help translate.
