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.
