Centro Educativo Británico S21 La Laguna is a school offering British, American and Cambridge curricula. Its pedagogical model treats education as socialization, prioritizing student well‑being, individuality and personal development. Learning is seen as ongoing discovery, with teachers as guides rather than traditional instructors. Language learning sits at the core: English and French are taught as first and second foreign languages, and a trilingual project aims to master Spanish, English and French by the end of Baccalaureate, with Cambridge Examinations and Alliance Française certifications. French begins in the first year of primary education and both languages are integrated across Primary, Secondary and Baccalaureate through transversal projects. The school uses Technological Itinerary and spaces such as the Project Room and Smart Zone to place students at the center of their learning. Extra-curricular offerings include Ireland Immersion, Cambridge Exam Center, Summer in England and Tennis Academy. Family involvement is encouraged in a community.
BST follows the British Curriculum for ages 2–18, including EYFS, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge AS Levels, and Cambridge A Levels. The school operates on two campuses: La Luz for Early Years and Primary, and Trinity for Secondary and Sixth Form. The Cambridge framework and the UK national curriculum underpin the programme, with IGCSE examinations at Key Stage 4 and Cambridge AS and A Levels in the Sixth Form, supporting entry to universities worldwide. BST preserves a British education heritage in Tenerife, dating to the north-island initiative led by the Yeoward and Simmonds families. Facilities span both sites: La Luz houses an EYFS building, a Primary building, a Neurodiversity Room, a Music Room, a Library, a Sensory Room, a Multipurpose Room, a Computing Suite and air-conditioned classrooms with outdoor play areas. Trinity provides Physics, Biology and Chemistry laboratories, an Art, History and Geography block, a Languages Room, Drama, Maths, Computer Science spaces, plus a Library and Dining facilities. The school prioritises wellbeing with PSHEE, a wellbeing practitioner, and a wide range of after-school clubs, including a parent association, Friends of BST.
The British International School of Tenerife provides an authentic UK educational experience for students from 18 months to 18 years across its two campuses in La Luz and Los Realejos. Students follow the National Curriculum for England, working towards Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level examinations. The Secondary campus features specialized science laboratories, a dedicated computing suite, and designated spaces for art, drama, and languages. A defining feature of the school is its distinctive House system. In the primary years, Houses map to the Canary Islands' four national parks, while secondary students belong to Houses representing the four natural elements. Students earn points during inter-house competitions and weekly assemblies by demonstrating core values like kindness, honesty, and respect. Alongside strong English instruction, the curriculum heavily integrates the Spanish language, allowing students to celebrate British traditions such as St. George’s Day while meeting national requirements for Spain.
