It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
English is the vehicular language for instruction, aligned with levels taught in England and Wales and leading to external examinations. In Key Stage 4 (Years 10–11) the school offers French and German. Spanish language and literature (Lengua Castellana y Literatura) is taught in KS4. The school provides education for pupils from 3 to 18 under the UK Curriculum, and Cambridge IGCSE English Language (0990) is studied over two years.
English is the medium of instruction across the curriculum. The vast majority of teaching and learning takes place through English. Non-native English-speaking families receive structured support to help students become fluent in English. Most teachers are native English speakers recruited from the UK.
Youngest students are fully immersed in an English-speaking environment. English permeates all subject areas, and daily school life emphasizes correct use of English. Regular UK trips and participation in international competitions extend English development beyond the classroom.
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.
