Boarding

Environment and Conditions

Sotogrande International School sits in southern Spain, close to Malaga and half an hour from Gibraltar. Students arrive from over 35 countries, creating a multilingual environment where English leads daily life while Spanish serves as an additional language. The campus spreads across green golf courses that provide both beauty and tranquility. Accommodation reflects feedback from those who live here, combining comfort with round-the-clock security through modern systems and dedicated guards.

Accommodation Options

The boarding system offers several paths: full boarding provides weeklong residence with complete meals, while weekday-only stays suit different schedules. Flexi-boarding adapts to individual needs, allowing families to shape arrangements around their circumstances. This flexibility means each student can find what works best without compromising their academic rhythm or personal preferences.

Student Life and Activities

After classes, on weekends, and during breaks, boarders dive into activities that make campus life dynamic. Common rooms become hubs where they relax, play games, organize trips, watch films, or simply read among friends. These spaces encourage spontaneous connections while the student council helps maintain the atmosphere that makes boarding feel less like an obligation and more like an extended community.

Sotogrande International School Staff

Boarding supervisors bring years of childcare experience, with some living on campus alongside their own families. This proximity means they’re deeply woven into daily rhythms, available when students need guidance or simply someone to talk to. Most domestic tasks are handled for them, creating space to focus on what matters—academics, friendships, growth—while Mediterranean-inspired meals keep everyone well-fed.
