About international schools in Lanzarote, Spain

International schooling on Lanzarote is concentrated and practical rather than extensive: the island has a small number of private international and bilingual schools alongside the Spanish state system, so families typically choose between Spanish-medium local schools or fee-paying bilingual/British/IB options. The most common offers are Spanish - English bilingual programmes and a British-style pathway that prepares students for Cambridge IGCSEs and A-level or equivalent post-16 study; one local group also runs the International Baccalaureate continuum. Expect private-school costs to include a one-off registration fee plus monthly or annual tuition and extra charges for meals, transport and activities, and expect to apply several months before the start of the school year or for rolling mid-year places. Practical paperwork for relocating families often includes passports, school records and vaccination history, and language support or assessed entry tests are commonly part of admissions for non-Spanish speakers.

FAQs for Spain

Which curricula and qualifications are available on Lanzarote?
You will find mainly Spanish state curricula in public schools and, among private provision, Spanish - English bilingual programmes, British curriculum pathways (Key Stages and IGCSE/A-Level style progression) and at least one school offering the International Baccalaureate programmes. Check each school’s website or prospectus to confirm which specific programmes and external exam boards they deliver, because not every private centre offers every stage (for example, some stop at primary or at 16).
How much do international or bilingual schools on Lanzarote usually charge?
Fees vary by age group and by school but are broadly in line with other private international schools in Spain: families should expect a non-refundable registration/enrolment charge plus annual tuition billed as one payment or in monthly instalments, with additional costs for lunch, transport, uniforms and trips. Many island schools publish downloadable fee schedules for each stage; contact schools directly for the current total cost for your child’s year group and ask about sibling discounts and payment plans.
What ages and stages do these schools cover?
Local international and bilingual schools on Lanzarote typically cover early years and primary, and some extend through compulsory secondary and post-16 (sixth form/Bachillerato or IB Diploma) while others stop at primary or lower secondary. Verify the age range with any school you consider, especially if you need continuity through to university entrance.
What language of instruction should parents expect, and is language support available?
Instruction is commonly bilingual (Spanish and English) or primarily English in British-style schools, with Spanish taught as a core subject; some schools also offer additional languages such as German or Mandarin. Schools routinely provide language-support programmes or assessed English/Spanish entry testing for newcomers, so ask about EAL (English as an additional language) or Spanish reinforcement options and how the school helps pupils integrate.
When should we apply and what documents will schools ask for?
Admissions windows vary but parents should plan to enquire and submit applications several months before the September intake; many schools also accept enquiries year-round for mid-term places. Expect to supply passports, recent school reports/records, vaccination history or medical notes, passport photos and proof of address, and be prepared for an interview, placement test or trial day for older children.
What should relocating families look for when comparing Lanzarote’s international schools?
Compare the curriculum pathways on offer (does the school lead to IB, Cambridge exams or the Spanish Bachillerato?), the language provision and support, published class sizes and staff language mix, and practical services like transport, meals and after-school care. Also request recent fee schedules, inspection or accreditation information, and a chance to meet teachers and visit classrooms so you can judge how well the school’s day-to-day culture and pastoral care will suit your child.
