International Schools in Tenerife, Spain

Tenerife’s international schools combine island living with a mix of foreign national systems and bilingual projects: you will commonly find British-curriculum schools (IGCSE/A-Level pathways), a recognised German Auslandsschule, a French international lycée and a growing number of centres offering the International Baccalaureate or bilingual Spanish - English programmes. Instruction languages on the island most often include English and Spanish, with German and French available at specialist schools; many schools also run English-as-an-additional-language (EAL) and Spanish support. Annual fees vary with age and model but private international schools on Tenerife typically charge in the low-to-mid thousands of euros per year at the primary/early-secondary level, rising for sixth form; exact prices and one-off registration or deposit charges differ by school. Admissions most commonly follow a September intake; state and concertado rounds in the Canaries run on a statutory spring timetable while private and international schools usually manage places through their own application windows or rolling enrolment, so families should enquire several months ahead and check transport and language-support arrangements because north - south travel on the island can affect daily logistics.
