English Schools in Spain – Enrol your children at ISP Schools

The English schools in Spain that are part of ISP Schools offer a British educational curriculum, reinforced by immersive experiences. Beyond the results of bilingual education, ISP Schools seeks educational excellence through a holistic educational process, with practical language learning at its core.

Why choose ISP Schools as your English school?

The reasons why ISP Schools guarantees a distinctive education are as follows:

Our approach to English education at ISP Schools

ISP Schools’ English schools in Spain follow an educational approach based on a combination of the British curriculum with elements of the Spanish education system. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive and high quality education for students.

The British education system focuses on the development of critical thinking and independence in learning. The teaching method is based on the practical application of knowledge rather than memorisation. Emphasis is also placed on communication skills in English, which is considered an important asset in today’s globalised world.

In addition, we encourage a multicultural environment, where students can interact with peers of different nationalities, which promotes tolerance, respect and understanding of different cultures.

High Quality English Academic Programme

ISP Schools offer a rigorous academic programme in English, based on gradual language learning.

Students study a wide range of subjects, including English, mathematics, science, humanities, arts and sports. In addition, they have the opportunity to learn English from the earliest academic years, enabling them to gain access to English-speaking universities.

Hands-on, interactive learning is emphasised, using a wide variety of teaching methods to encourage active student participation.

A multicultural and bilingual environment

Schools with a multicultural and bilingual environment offer numerous benefits, among the most important of which is language proficiency in several languages, which offers academic, cognitive and social advantages. Bilingualism can improve cognitive flexibility, metalinguistic awareness and problem-solving skills.

In a multicultural environment, students are exposed to different perspectives and experiences, which helps them develop a more open and understanding mindset. This exposure can also enhance their intercultural understanding and their ability to interact and collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds.

In addition, schools that are part of the ISP Schools prepare students for a globalised world. Students learn to value diversity as a positive thing.

Our highly qualified English teaching staff

Having bilingual teachers at ISP Schools offers multiple advantages, the main one being that they can provide effective instruction in English, which contributes to the development of exceptional language skills in students. Their command of the language allows concepts to be explained clearly and accurately, facilitating learning.

In addition, bilingual teachers act as role models for students in proficient language use, including the particular accent of the language and encouraging active listening to English.

Extra-curricular programmes and enrichment activities

Extra-curricular programmes promote the development of non-academic skills such as teamwork, problem solving, communication and leadership.

In addition, extracurricular activities can foster interest and passion for fields beyond the standard curriculum, helping students explore and reinforce their individual talents and passions.

These programmes also provide opportunities for personal and social growth, allowing students to form new friendships and feel more integrated into their school community. Extracurricular activities can improve students’ academic performance and prospects, as universities and employers value participation in activities outside the classroom.
