About international schools in Alicante, Spain
Alicante and the surrounding Costa Blanca host a mix of small-to-medium international and bilingual private schools serving both local and expatriate families, where the dominant models are British-medium schools, Spanish bilingual programmes and a smaller number of IB-authorised campuses. English is the primary language of instruction in most British-style schools, while Spanish and Valencian are taught to meet local curriculum requirements; some schools also offer French, German or Mandarin as additional languages. Affordable international options in the area tend to sit in the lower-to-middle part of the local fee distribution - roughly €4,000 - €9,000 a year for tuition-only in many cases - but families should budget separately for enrolment fees, meals, transport and extra activities. Admissions generally follow the Spanish school year with a September intake, so parents typically enquire and apply in the spring or early summer, although some schools run rolling admissions or offer mid-year places and entrance assessments.
