About international schools in Valencia, Spain

Valencia’s international schools are a mix of British, American and International Baccalaureate providers alongside bilingual Spanish - English options and a smaller number of French or other curriculum schools. English is the most common language of instruction, while schools also teach Spanish and typically offer Valencian as a regional language subject. Published tuition in the Valencia area generally sits in the mid-range for private international education in Spain, with recent guides showing typical annual fees roughly €5,800 - €10,000 per pupil and additional one-off enrolment or reservation charges plus costs for meals, transport and activities. Admissions follow a main September intake for Northern-hemisphere schools but many institutions accept rolling applications; competitive places normally require early applications, language or academic assessments and a deposit to confirm a place.

FAQs for Spain

Which curricula are available in Valencia’s international schools?
You will find the British National Curriculum (with IGCSEs/A-levels in older years), the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP and DP at many schools), American curriculum models and bilingual schools that combine Spanish national subjects with an international programme. A small number of schools follow the French system or other international frameworks, and some schools offer dual-diploma routes that prepare students for Spanish and international university entry.
What languages are used and how is Valencian handled?
English is the predominant medium at most international schools, with Spanish taught as a subject across stages and often used for local-language classes; Valencian (the regional language) is commonly offered or taught as a subject in the Valencia area, though requirements vary by school. Families should check each school’s language policy and how much additional support is offered for non-Spanish speakers, especially for younger children joining a Spanish-language environment.
How much should we budget for schooling in Valencia?
Published tuition in recent local guides typically ranges from roughly €5,800 to €10,000 a year per child, but billing models vary (annual versus monthly) and fees rise with age and the programme chosen. On top of base tuition expect one-off enrolment or reservation fees (often several hundred to a few thousand euros) and recurring extras for lunches, transport, uniforms and extracurricular activities.
When should we apply and what do admissions usually involve?
The main intake for Northern-hemisphere international schools is the September term, so many families begin research and applications several months to a year in advance, but many schools also accept mid-year entries on a rolling basis. Admissions commonly include submission of previous school records, an application fee or deposit, language and numeracy assessments or interviews and sometimes a trial or taster day, with younger children assessed through play-based observation.
What practical things should relocating parents check when comparing schools?
Confirm a school’s accreditation and which university pathways its graduates typically follow, examine its language-support provision for non-native speakers, and check pastoral care, class sizes and inspection or accreditation reports. Also verify practical logistics - transport routes, length of the school day, how costs are billed, and the timing of enrolment deposits - because these everyday details materially affect settling-in and family budgeting.
