Aloha College Marbella is a not-for-profit international school providing a British international education for students aged 3 to 18. From Early Years to Year 6, the English National Curriculum is taught with the International Primary Curriculum; in Years 10–11 students sit Cambridge IGCSE exams, and in Sixth Form they can choose between the International Baccalaureate Diploma or Cambridge A‑Levels. Founded in 1982 by teachers and parents, the school now welcomes over 900 pupils on a campus of around 29,000 m², with seven science laboratories, three computer suites, two libraries, four art studios, and a dedicated Music Department featuring a performance hall and drama studio. Not-for-profit status means surpluses are reinvested to enhance facilities, technology and staff development, while maintaining a caring, inclusive atmosphere. IT is integrated with Google Classroom and interactive smartboards in every classroom. The co-curricular programme includes drama, language and literature clubs, and the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, alongside strong sport and arts offerings.
