Colégio Hispano Británico Lanzarote delivers the British National Curriculum for students aged 5 to 18, blending English with Spanish, German and Chinese language study. It is an independent school and a British School Overseas (BSO) accredited centre, hosting Cambridge International Examinations, Edexcel and Trinity assessments, and providing UCAS and Open University access. Founded in 1976, it is the island's sole Lanzarote school accredited to teach the British curriculum abroad and an official Cambridge examination centre. The campus, set on extensive grounds near the golf course in Puerto del Carmen, offers a safe, multicultural learning environment designed to foster interaction. Students typically take around 14 GCSE subjects, with some pursuing up to 17, and may continue with Cambridge A Levels or BTEC qualifications into first– or second-year university study. A notable feature is the Environmental Management approach to Geography, with strong language provision and a house system supporting leadership and community.
