The academy directors came together through a shared vision to provide a modern and exceptional educational provision for families on the Costa del Sol. With many years of experience in their areas of expertise across different countries, the team created Shine International Academy to celebrate the uniqueness of every learner through a progressive approach to meeting children's educational needs. Our small class sizes allow teachers to know each child exceptionally well, adapt teaching to individual learning styles, and stretch confident learners while supporting those who need more guidance. We place great emphasis on wellbeing and behaviour, with consistent routines and boundaries, respectful relationships, and emotional literacy in calm, structured learning environments. The school provides additional support when required and works closely with families to ensure support is timely and appropriate, with children remaining fully included in school life and strengths recognised and nurtured.
Shine International Academy fosters a true partnership with families, believing the best outcomes come when school and home work together. Parents value open communication and a welcoming, approachable leadership team. Families feel part of a supportive school community. From the first visit, families often feel that Shine is the right fit.
