The school has extensive grounds and is situated near the golf course in Puerto Del Carmen, Tías. It accepts students from ages 3 through 18. The campus provides an open, safe, and multicultural learning environment designed to encourage interaction. It is the only school in Lanzarote accredited to teach the British curriculum abroad (BSO) and hosts official examination centres for Cambridge International Examinations, Pearson examinations, Trinity examinations, UCAS, the Open University, and the Goethe Institute. The dining room is available for meals if required.
The British National Curriculum is followed, with Spanish Language taught from age 3 and German and Chinese from age 6, continuing through GCSE. Environmental Management replaces UK Geography and has a strong world geography component. The timetable includes around 14 GCSE subjects, with some students taking up to 17, and it is extended from age 11 to provide extra lesson time. The school works with Cambridge International Examinations and Edexcel, and is a Trinity College London Exam Centre, with a partnership with the Goethe-Institut for German language exams. The curriculum is co-validated to the Spanish system, enabling access to Spanish universities.
Students are split into Houses: Wilberforce, Cervantes and Kings. House points are awarded for academic and sporting achievements, tallied throughout the year, with the Sports Day determining the winning house. At the beginning of each school year, students vote for Head Boy and Head Girl and for house captains from the Sixth Form. The House system fosters teamwork, leadership, and friendly competition. The school community is multicultural, with students from many nationalities represented on the island.
