The Ark Christian School is a British international school in Las Lagunas de Mijas, Málaga, serving children aged 3 to 18. It follows the British National Curriculum for ages 3-18, including the EYFS framework for the early years, leading to Cambridge IGCSE examinations and Cambridge A Levels. The school is an independent, charitable (non-profit) organisation with its own statutes and a four-member Board drawn from the Ark Christian Church community; the Headteacher collaborates closely with the Board. The curriculum combines a British and Spanish study framework, with Spanish literacy taught as a core subject and Spanish language enrichment integrated across years. Extra curricular life includes the Instituto Canzion music school, which provides music lessons and directs the school choir. PSHE supports social and emotional development. Christian values underpin daily life, character education and welfare, while cross-curricular teaching emphasizes active learning and inquiry for all students from early years onward globally.
