St. George's School Marbella was founded in 1996 by Andrew and María José Mardlin in the Cortijo Blanco area near Marbella. Their aim was to provide a top-quality British-style education for children aged 3 to 8 while giving the Spanish language the importance it deserves. Since opening with 45 pupils, the school has grown and now serves pupils up to the age of 8, with dedicated academic and auxiliary staff who share the founders' philosophy. The children work within the British National Curriculum and the Spanish Education Law, and past students have transferred to English or Spanish language schools locally and abroad. St. George's School is jointly recognised by the British Department of Education and the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science.
Saint George's School Marbella offers British-style education with Spanish curriculum component for children aged 3 to 8. The curriculum combines the English National Curriculum, taught in English by teachers whose first language is English, with regular Ofsted-aligned standards. A stand-alone Spanish Junta de Andalucía programme covers Spanish language, maths and science, delivered by qualified Spanish teachers. Reading and phonics support is provided in English, and after-school activities are conducted in English; additional reading and phonics sessions and Spanish instruction occur 2–3 times per week. The school is jointly recognised by the British Department of Education and the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science. Facilities include a homey environment, one classroom per age group, an enclosed outdoor pool used in June and September, a vegetable garden, and an on-site dining room serving a locally sourced menu. The staff-to-child ratio exceeds requirements, with qualified teachers and a supportive, bilingual learning community.
