IB international schools in Spain most often deliver one or more International Baccalaureate programmes - the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP), Diploma (DP) and, in some places, the Career-related Programme (CP) - covering roughly ages 3 to 19 and offered mainly by private and international schools across the country. Instruction is commonly English or Spanish and many schools run bilingual or multilingual models; in autonomous communities such as Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia you will frequently see Catalan, Basque or Galician included alongside Spanish and English. Tuition levels vary substantially by region and school type, with annual fees spanning low-thousands for some bilingual or concertado schools up to mid-to-high five-figure all-in costs in central Madrid or Barcelona, and most schools add separate enrolment, transport, lunch and examination charges. The main intake follows the Northern-Hemisphere academic year (September) and competitive places are usually allocated many months in advance, though many schools also manage rolling or mid-year admissions that require assessments, records and an interview or visit.
