It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Founded in 1976 by Roger Deign. It is the only Lanzarote school accredited to teach the British curriculum abroad (BSO) and an official Cambridge exam centre, offering GCSE, IGCSE, AS and A levels, plus Open University exams and UCAS. The curriculum blends the British framework with Spanish language and social sciences, and also includes German and Chinese. It is a founder member of NABSS (National Association of British Schools in Spain). In 2014 the British Government authorized the school to train teachers who have completed postgraduate studies, and in 2020 it gained approval to offer BTEC qualifications up to the second year of university studies; Ofsted certifies its standards (UK Education Department number 141421).
CHB uses a Houses system with three houses: Kings, Wilberforce, and Cervantes. House points are awarded for academic and sporting achievements as well as behaviour, and the winner is decided on Sports Day. At the start of each school year, students vote for Head Boy and Head Girl and elect a male and female House Captain from the sixth form to represent them. The house names reflect values such as intelligence and character for Kings, liberty and human rights for Wilberforce, and imagination and reading for Cervantes.
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.
