About international schools in Las Palmas, Spain

Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) has a compact but varied international-school scene: you will find several British-curriculum schools and bilingual Spanish - English centres, a German school and a number of schools that prepare pupils for IGCSE/A-level or the International Baccalaureate. Instruction is commonly English in British schools, with Spanish taught as a subject and many schools offering dedicated language support for newcomers; some schools also operate a double-curriculum model to preserve access to Spanish state qualifications. Published tuition at local international and private schools typically falls in a broad band (roughly €4,000 - €9,000 per year), though many families report most schools charging in the mid-range (about €5,000 - €7,500) and additional compulsory costs for reservation/enrolment fees, lunches, transport and exam charges are common. The main intake aligns with the Spanish school year in September, but most schools run rolling admissions, ask for a reservation/enrolment payment and use age-appropriate assessments or interviews to agree placement.

FAQs for Spain

What curricula and final qualifications do international schools in Las Palmas offer?
Many schools follow the English National Curriculum and prepare pupils for Cambridge IGCSE and A-level qualifications, while others offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma or Spanish-integrated programmes that combine UK/IGCSE pathways with the Spanish system. There is also a recognised German school on the island that follows German bilingual provision. Check each school’s prospectus to confirm which external examinations and university-recognised certificates they deliver before you apply.
How much should we budget for school fees and extras?
Published tuition for international and private schools in Las Palmas commonly appears in the €4,000 - €9,000 per year range, with many schools clustering around the mid-range; however published fees are not the whole cost. Expect separate, often compulsory, charges such as reservation/enrolment deposits, school lunches, transport, exam fees and some activity or resource costs, so ask schools for a full ‘true annual cost’ breakdown before committing.
When should we apply and what is the usual admissions process?
The principal intake is for the September school year, but most international schools in Las Palmas run rolling admissions and will accept applications during the year if places are available. Typical requirements include an application form and recent school reports, an age-appropriate assessment or English placement test, and payment of a reservation or enrolment deposit to hold a place; schools may also interview parents and pupils as part of placement decisions.
Do schools support non-Spanish speakers and what ages do they cover?
Most international and bilingual schools provide language support for non-Spanish speakers, especially in the early years and primary stages, with specialist language teaching or newcomer programmes to speed integration. The sector covers the full range from nursery/pre-school through to secondary and sixth form (up to age 18) at different schools, so check each school’s published age range and the availability of targeted English or Spanish support for your child’s year group.
What practical checks should we do when comparing schools in Las Palmas?
Visit schools, review the prospectus and the detailed fee schedule, and ask for sample timetables and recent school reports so you can compare curriculum, language of instruction, class sizes and pastoral provision. Also confirm how the school’s qualifications map to Spanish university access if that matters, what transition support they offer for international children and the realistic total annual cost including lunches, transport and examination charges.
