The British School of Gran Canaria (Tafira Campus) provides education for day students aged 3 to 18. The school follows the British Curriculum, starting with the Early Years Foundation Stage and progressing to Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels. All core lessons are taught in English, while Spanish is also integrated as a subject. Physical facilities at the Tafira campus include dedicated primary and secondary patios, multi-sports pitches, an indoor sports hall, an art room, and specific study booths for older students. A central feature of the school is its Student Voice initiative, an active program where secondary students design and lead projects to improve campus life and assist local charities. Additionally, the school provides an Enrichment Programme containing over 30 extracurricular activities, ranging from Artificial Intelligence and Model United Nations to a structured Dance Academy and progressive residential trips that build student independence outside regular classroom hours.
