About international schools in Girona, Spain

Girona’s international and bilingual schools are generally smaller and more locally focused than the large international campuses you find in Barcelona, and many combine the Catalan/Spanish regional curriculum with strong English immersion or British/Cambridge options. Families can expect instruction to be offered in Catalan or Spanish alongside substantial English, and some schools also teach French, German or other languages depending on the programme. Annual private-school tuition in the city and surrounding province commonly falls in the mid-thousands to low-teens of euros, while state and municipally run schools remain free for residents. The main intake follows the Spanish school year (starting in September), though private schools often accept applications on a rolling basis and publish their principal application windows in the months before the new term.

FAQs for Spain

What curricula and languages do affordable international schools in Girona usually offer?
Affordable international and bilingual schools in Girona most often teach the Catalan regional curriculum with strong English immersion, or follow British/Cambridge syllabuses at primary and secondary levels; a smaller number offer Montessori or other international programmes. Schools typically deliver a mix of Catalan and/or Spanish plus English as the main vehicular language, and some centres add French, German or additional language options depending on their profile.
How much should we budget for tuition at affordable international schools in Girona?
Tuition for private international or bilingual schools in the Girona area is commonly in the mid-thousands to around €10,000 - €14,000 a year for full-time places, with some smaller or Montessori settings listing lower ranges and state schools costing nothing for residents. Fees vary by age group, curriculum and extras such as transport or meals, so compare published school fee tables and ask about one-off enrolment charges and payment plans.
When should we start applying and how does admissions timing work?
The academic year in Spain begins in September, and many international schools open their main application window in the months before that (often January - March), but most private schools also run rolling admissions and will consider mid-year transfers if places are available. Allow several weeks for processing and expect to supply identity documents, recent school reports and immunisation records; if you need a guaranteed place for September, start enquiries and submit applications several months in advance.
What ages and stages are typically covered by Girona’s international schools?
Most bilingual and international schools in the Girona area offer provision from early years through primary and lower secondary, and a smaller number extend to upper secondary or the baccalaureate/IB years. If your child needs a specific pathway to university (IB, A-levels, Spanish Bachillerato), confirm which final-stage programmes the school runs because not every campus covers the full 0 - 18 range.
What should parents prioritise when comparing affordable international schools in Girona?
Look first at the language model (how much Catalan/Spanish versus English is used for teaching), the exact curriculum on offer at the ages you need, and whether the school provides language support for newcomers. Also check transparent fee schedules, class sizes, teacher qualifications and official registration with the Catalan education authority, and visit if you can to assess pastoral care and whether transport or after-school care fits your family’s logistics.
