Early Years and Young Learners

From ages 3 to 5, children follow the British EYFS framework, which lets them discover the world through play and exploration while building skills in communication, mathematics, creativity, and physical and emotional development. Seven key learning areas guide this process naturally, without pressure. Then, between 5 and 11, primary students build their foundation in mathematics, English, and science, gradually adding history, geography, art, music, and physical education as they progress from simple concepts to more complex ones.

Middle School

Between 14 and 16, teenagers at Laude San Pedro International College Marbella prepare for IGCSE exams—an internationally recognized general secondary education certificate that universities worldwide accept. Three subjects are mandatory: English, mathematics, and Spanish, while students choose the rest from over twenty options ranging from media and business to drama and food technology. This stage cultivates not just knowledge but practical skills like analytical thinking, independence, and time management.

• Natural sciences: chemistry, physics, biology
• Humanities and social studies: history, geography, business, tourism, psychology
• Languages: French, German, Chinese
• Arts and technology: media, drama, music, computer science
