Education in Spain 

Many International schools have been set up in Spain and cater for children aged 3 to 18 where English is the main language.

Most of these schools follow the English National Curriculum and some offer children the opportunity of following the International Baccalaureate at a later stage in their education.

A typical school day for primary children will start at around 9 in the morning to 4.30 in the afternoonwith secondary pupils continuing until 5pm. There is usually a two hour lunch break.

The academic year opens at the beginning of September and closes towards the end of June. The two month break in the Summer covers the warmest spell.
