A school that belongs to a global group of 110 educational institutions across 25 countries and holds top positions in three leading Spanish education rankings.

About the School

The British School of Almeria sits on the coast near Roquetas de Mar, close to the provincial center. It guides children from three to eighteen years old—from Early Years to final exams—and the Spanish Ministry of Education fully recognizes what students learn here. Lessons unfold in everyday English with native speakers, making the language a working environment instead of another subject. Meanwhile, being part of the International Schools Partnership opens up a whole world of exchanges, collaborative projects, and links to a hundred schools across continents, making education genuinely international.

Achievements

Year after year, graduates demonstrate strong scores on IGCSE and A-Level exams—the very grades that unlock doors to great universities. The school offers dual credentials: both British A-Levels and Spanish classes for EBAU, so students can choose whether to apply locally or abroad. Recent graduates have gone on to universities in England, Ireland, the Netherlands, and America, including Manchester University, Trinity College Dublin, and the University of Amsterdam. It is noteworthy that this institution became an official Cambridge testing site and offers ABRSM music qualifications.

Academic Programme

The British programme does its work because it combines rigor with flexibility. Teachers don’t push everyone into the same mold—they notice what each child finds interesting and adjust the material so lessons feel engaging rather than just rote memorization.

Educational structure:

• Early Years (3-4 years) — young children develop through play, exploring seven key areas including early literacy in Spanish
• Primary (5-11 years) — English, mathematics, sciences studied through vibrant thematic projects, plus mandatory Spanish subjects
• Secondary (11-16 years) — preparation for IGCSE, where beyond core disciplines students pick two subjects from eight options
• Sixth Form (16-18 years) — concentration on three to four subjects for thorough A-Level preparation

Life After Classes

The British School of Almeria believes that personality develops not only during lessons but also through what children do after school. That’s why different activities are selected for each age group: rhythmic gymnastics and arts workshops for younger ones, triathlon and coding for teenagers. A particular pride here is the music department, where they teach ten various instruments and prepare students for recognized qualifications. In the science club, children dissect, conduct experiments, study how things move—all in a relaxed atmosphere rather than test stress, when they can calmly explore how the world works.

Extracurricular activity directions:

• Sports sections: tennis, basketball, judo, triathlon, athletics
• Creative workshops: ceramics, dance, art, media
• Academic clubs: programming, Language Academy, scientific experiments
• Music education: from violin to electric guitar with ABRSM qualifications

School Campus

The entire school occupies a single modern site, which proves very convenient—no need to go anywhere, everything is at hand and secure. Young children have their own zone with spacious classrooms, a dining hall, and playground, while primary is on the ground floor next to the large hall and music department. Upper grades occupy the top floor—three science laboratories, an art studio, an extensive library. Sports infrastructure is equally impressive: football fields, basketball courts, a climbing wall, and most importantly, an indoor pool that operates year-round. Safety comes first—every swimming session has at least two adult instructors supervising the children, so parents can feel at ease.

Additional conveniences for families:

• Breakfast Club from 7:30 AM
• Three bus routes with supervision
• Dining hall with specialized menus from Aramark
• Summer school in July with English-language programme
