About international schools in Asturias, Spain

Asturias has a small, region-level selection of international and strongly bilingual schools concentrated around the Oviedo - Gijón - Avilés corridor, so choice is far smaller than in Madrid or Barcelona but covers British and IB pathways alongside bilingual Spanish schools. English - Spanish bilingual provision is the norm at these schools, with some offering additional modern languages and international exam routes (IGCSE/A-Level or the IB Diploma); a few schools explicitly combine the Spanish national curriculum with an international programme. Annual fees for private international options in Asturias typically start in the low thousands of euros for early years and commonly rise into the mid-five-figure range for older years (many local profiles show approximate ranges of about €5,000 - €11,000 a year). Admissions for state and concertado schools follow the Principality of Asturias’ central calendar in spring (applications and provisional lists in March - May with formal enrolment in June), while private and international schools run their own application processes (visits, forms, interviews and occasional entrance assessments) and recruit for the September intake; expect to contact schools several months ahead.

FAQs for Spain

How many international schools are there in Asturias and where are they located?

There are only a handful of international or explicitly international-curriculum schools serving Asturias, mostly located within easy driving distance of Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés rather than spread across the region. Profiles compiled by independent school directories list roughly four schools that identify as international or bilingual in Asturias.

What curricula and languages do these schools offer?

The common options are the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum and British curriculum routes (IGCSE/A-Level), with many schools integrating those international programmes alongside the Spanish national curriculum so students can follow a bilingual pathway. Instruction is typically largely in English and Spanish, and some schools also teach French, German or other modern languages as part of their bilingual offer.

How much should we expect to pay in tuition?

Published fee profiles for Asturias’ private international schools show wide variation by age and programme, but typical annual tuition bandings start at roughly €4,900 - €5,000 for younger years and commonly reach around €10,000 - €11,000 in upper years. Individual schools publish exact tariffs and one-off registration charges, so parents should request the current fees schedule and ask what extras (meals, transport, activities, testing) are not included.

When should we start the admissions process?

If you plan a September start, begin contacting private and international schools as early as late autumn or winter for tours and to join waiting lists, since the most common intake is at the start of the academic year and popular year groups fill early. State and concertado (subsidised) schools use the regional admissions calendar in spring - in recent years the Principality’s official process has run with application windows in March and provisional lists in April - May followed by enrolment in June - so check the regional calendar and the school’s own deadlines.

Will international qualifications be recognised in Spain and abroad?

The IB Diploma and recognised UK qualifications such as A-Levels are accepted by universities around the world and by Spanish universities; many Asturian international schools also teach enough of the Spanish curriculum that pupils can transfer into the national system or have studies convalidated. Families with a specific national destination or university in mind should discuss recognition and convalidation with the school’s university-careers team and with the regional education authority well before application.
