Affordable international schools in Spain are a mixed group: many are bilingual private schools or semi-private “concertado” schools with international streams, alongside smaller foreign-curriculum schools outside the premium tier. The market commonly offers British curricula (National Curriculum/IGCSE/A-levels), the International Baccalaureate at several stages, and Spanish national curriculum tracks taught bilingually, with instruction most often in English and Spanish and regional languages required in areas such as Catalonia or the Basque Country. Annual tuition for more affordable international and bilingual options commonly lies in the low thousands to low tens of thousands of euros a year - many listings show frequent ranges roughly between about €3,000 and €12,000 - although some private international campuses charge considerably more. Most schools’ main intake follows the Northern Hemisphere school year (August/September) with some January entry and rolling places; applications typically ask for recent school reports, identity and health documents, and may include entrance or language assessments, so families usually start enquiries several months before arrival.
