About international schools in Lanzarote, Spain

International schooling on Lanzarote is provided by a small group of private, bilingual centres rather than a large international school market, so choices are limited compared with mainland Spain and larger islands. The island’s international offer typically follows either the International Baccalaureate (available as a full PYP - MYP - DP continuum at one centre) or British-style programmes (Key Stages, IGCSE and A-levels) at others, with instruction commonly delivered in both English and Spanish and additional modern languages on offer. Annual fees vary by school and by age, but published schedules show that day-school tuition at private international schools on the island sits in the low-to-mid thousands of euros a year, with some schools publishing wider ranges for different stages. Admissions follow the Spanish/Canary Islands school calendar (main intake in September) while private schools also accept enquiries year-round; public-school place applications in the Canary Islands are handled through regional admissions windows set by the Consejería de Educación.

FAQs for Spain

What curricula can my child follow at international schools in Lanzarote?
You will typically find either the International Baccalaureate continuum (PYP, MYP and DP) at the island’s IB-authorised centre or British curriculum programmes (Key Stages leading to Cambridge IGCSEs and A-levels) at British-style schools. Some schools blend those international frameworks with Spanish curricular requirements so that pupils can move between systems or meet Spanish qualifications where required.
Which languages are used for teaching and language study?
Most international schools on Lanzarote deliver bilingual teaching in English and Spanish from the early years, with English often the medium for international programmes and Spanish taught as a core subject. Schools on the island also commonly offer further language options such as German and Mandarin as part of their language programmes.
How much should we expect to pay for tuition?
Annual tuition varies by school, age group and services (meals, transport, activities) and is published by each school; one local British curriculum provider lists typical fees in the range of about €4,050 to €9,000 a year, while other schools publish stage-specific schedules. Private schools on Lanzarote usually itemise a reservation or enrolment fee, monthly or annual tuition instalments and additional charges for supplies, lunches and activities, so check each school’s fee sheet for the total cost.
When should we apply and how do admissions work?
The main intake for both state and private schools follows the Spanish school year, with classes starting in early September and public-school admission processes run in defined windows by the Canary Islands education authority; private international schools also operate their own admissions and often accept applications and offer tours year-round. If you are relocating, start enquiries as soon as you know your moving dates, ask about waiting lists and ask schools for their current vacancy and entry testing policies well before September.
What ages and stages do these schools cover?
International schools on Lanzarote typically cover the full age range from early years through to 18, with some centres accepting children from under two or from six months in nursery provision and others starting at pre-school or reception age. Check each school’s published stages because entry points, wraparound care and sixth-form provision vary and determine whether the school will meet your child’s next academic step.
