Canterbury School's San Lorenzo campus is a co-educational day school educating students from ages 6 to 18. The school follows the English National Curriculum through the Primary and Secondary stages, culminating in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme for Sixth Form students. Lessons are taught in English, complemented by dedicated instruction in Spanish language and Canarian culture, with a third language introduced at age 11. The 60,000m² campus features specific support facilities, including a dedicated theatre and an indoor sports hall for physical education and creative arts. A distinctive feature of student life is the Canterbury Student Union (CSU), an initiative fully led by Sixth Formers that organizes events like the Christmas Assembly and intra-school sports competitions. In Primary, the school runs a "Playground Friends" scheme, encouraging older students to mentor younger children to help maintain a supportive environment.
