British School of Valencia offers a holistic British curriculum with multilingual education in Valencia. The taught curriculum broadly follows the National Curriculum for Key Stages 1–4 and is formally assessed by GCSEs, with KS5 assessment by A-Levels. The Spanish curriculum requirements are included as mandated by the Spanish authorities. CAT4 baseline assessments are used: pupils entering Years 7–9 take the CAT4 in September of their entry year, and all pupils take the CAT4 at the start of Year 10. Careers and Higher Education guidance is provided, and a wide range of co-curricular activities supplement the timetable.

Careers and higher education guidance is provided to support students' progression.

The curriculum contemplates accelerated progress for high-ability students within their class, while maintaining their peer group.
