About international schools in A Coruna, Spain

A Coruña’s international schools tend to be small, fee-paying day schools that combine locally required Spanish provision with English-medium or bilingual programmes: you will find schools offering the International Baccalaureate, British National Curriculum pathways and Spanish national curricula delivered with strong English language immersion. Several established centres in the city belong to national or international groups and advertise bilingual teaching from early years through to secondary; some also expressly include Galician language tuition to meet regional requirements. Fees are not standardised: some schools publish monthly ranges around €300 - €700 (which roughly equals €3,600 - €8,400 a year) while others report annual fees in the mid-thousands and do not publish prices publicly, so expect to compare fee lists and extras carefully. Admissions follow the Spanish school calendar with most schools recruiting for a September start; families new to the area commonly contact admissions, book visits or open days and begin enquiries six to twelve months before their planned move to check availability and transport options.

FAQs for Spain

What types of curriculum will I find at affordable international schools in A Coruña?
You will commonly encounter three models: bilingual Spanish - English schools that follow the national curriculum with extra English immersion, British-style schools following the National Curriculum for England (often with Cambridge or IGCSE assessments), and schools offering one or more International Baccalaureate programmes. Individual schools vary in which stages they cover - for example some local centres offer the full IB continuum from early years to diploma level.
How much should we expect to pay and what makes a school ‘affordable’?
Tuition at A Coruña’s international schools varies and there is no single definition of ‘affordable’: some listings and school pages show monthly figures in the region of €300 - €700, while reported annual fee bands for private international options in the area can sit in the mid-thousands to around €9,000 a year depending on age and services. Many schools do not publish full fees online, and additional costs (registration, uniform, exams, transport and activities) can make a big difference to the final annual cost, so always request a full fee schedule before deciding.
When should we start the admissions process if we are relocating to A Coruña?
Most families begin enquiries at least six to twelve months before their intended September start, using school open days and admissions meetings to confirm places and transport; however some schools operate rolling admissions and will consider applications later in the year if places are available. Contact the admissions office early, ask about assessment dates, waiting-list policies and sibling priority, and request an itemised offer that shows exactly what is included in fees.
What language instruction should we expect and will our child learn Galician?
Instruction in international schools in A Coruña is typically in English and Spanish, with English immersion strongest in early years at bilingual and British schools; because Galician is a co-official regional language some schools also teach Galician as a subject or employ Galician teachers to meet regional curriculum requirements. If maintaining or developing Galician is important to your family, confirm the school’s language policy and the amount of contact time the school allocates to Galician, Spanish and English.
What should we look for when comparing ‘affordable’ international options in A Coruña?
Compare the curriculum and final qualifications offered (IB, IGCSE/A-level, Spanish bachillerato), the languages of instruction and the school’s approach to bilingualism, published fee schedules and the total cost of extras, and practical matters such as school-bus routes, catchment or travel time and available places at your child’s age. Also ask about the admissions procedure, assessment and pastoral support for newly arrived international pupils so you can judge whether the school’s resources and language support match your child’s needs.
