About international schools in A Coruña, Spain

A Coruña’s international-school scene is relatively small and mainly privately run, with families most commonly finding British-curriculum schools alongside at least one school that offers the full International Baccalaureate from early years through Diploma. Teaching typically combines English with Spanish and the regional language Galician, and British-pathway schools generally follow the English National Curriculum with IGCSE/A-Level options while IB schools deliver PYP/MYP/DP. Fees vary by stage and provider but published examples for the city show annual tuition in the mid-to-high thousands of euros (for example, Coruña British International School’s published fees run from roughly €6,650 in early years to about €9,200 for sixth form, while Obradoiro’s published level fees convert to figures in a similar band and rise for the IB Diploma). Most schools publish a one-off registration or enrolment charge and separate costs for meals, transport and activities, so families should plan visits early, reserve places in the spring/summer for the following school year where possible, and ask about language-support and pastoral care for newcomers.

FAQs for Spain

Which curricula will my child typically find in A Coruña’s international schools?
The two main international pathways in the city are British-curriculum schools (English National Curriculum with IGCSE and A-Level options) and International Baccalaureate programmes (PYP, MYP and DP) where available. Some schools combine those international programmes with the Spanish regional requirements so pupils also study Spanish and Galician as part of the timetable.
How much should I expect to pay each year?
Fees vary by school and by age group, and most schools separate a one-off registration/enrolment charge from annual tuition and additional services. Published fee schedules in A Coruña show annual tuition commonly in the mid-thousands of euros (examples include published schedules around €6,650 - €9,200 at one British school and levelised monthly charges at the IB school that convert to a similar annual range), with higher costs for sixth form/IB Diploma and extra charges for meals, transport and activities.
What languages are used and how quickly can a non-Spanish speaker be integrated?
Lessons in international schools are usually delivered in English while Spanish and Galician are taught as subjects; schools expect and support bilingual development rather than full immersion only in English. Most schools offer language-support programmes or phased entry plans for pupils arriving with limited Spanish, but the level and intensity of support differs, so ask each school for details and examples of recent placements.
When should I start the admissions process and what are the common steps?
Families commonly begin enquiries and visits several months before the new school year - many schools run open visits and ask for a reservation or enrolment fee to hold a place - and admissions windows peak in spring and early summer. Schools also accept applications during the school year if places are available; typical steps are an enquiry, a guided visit, submission of documents, payment of a reservation fee and, where required, an assessment or interview.
What should I check on a school visit to judge value for money?
Ask to see the school’s published fee schedule and exactly what it covers, evidence of external authorisations (for example IB authorisation or British-school accreditation), samples of recent curriculum documentation and details of language-support and pastoral provision. Also check practical matters that affect total cost and daily life - transport routes and prices, lunch provision, extracurricular fees, typical class sizes and how the school measures and reports pupil progress.
