Life International School offers a full international pathway from Early Childhood through Grade 12 under an American curriculum delivered in English immersion. Core Elementary subjects include English, Spanish Language and Literature, Mathematics, Natural Science, Social Studies, Bible Literacy, and Values, with Art, Music, Technology, and Physical Education integrated across the program. In Secondary, the curriculum continues with English immersion and education designed to prepare students for universities in Spain, the United States, and beyond. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and is authorized to issue a U.S. high school diploma after Grade 12; it is registered with the Spanish government as a foreign school in Spain (License 28078353).
Art, Music, Technology, and Physical Education are integrated into LIFE's curriculum. In Early Childhood, learning centers include art, drama, and music to support language development, reading, and creative expression. Cross-curricular projects and hands-on activities help bring learning to life across all grades.
Life International School has a House system; each year students choose a house name based on color, with examples such as Black Ninjas and Red Dynamites. There is a Spirit Week and Service Week with a House Cup, and students can earn points for their house, including through reading during March.
Service is a core value: students are challenged to care about the needs of others and learn to contribute to their community, developing leadership as they serve.
Health and Fitness are emphasized, with a focus on healthy habits, physical activity, a balanced diet, sportsmanship, and rest. LIFE has its own Lunch Service.
