What's happening
Summer School - from 30 June
In a caring community, students at The British School of Málaga grow into confident lifelong learners
The British School of Málaga is listed among the Best Private Schools in Spain and Best Schools in Malaga by MiCole rankings; and Best International Schools by El Mundo - all in 2025.
Students belong to a long-lasting community where confidence grows through shared values, friendship and challenge - as we grow our futures together.
Students progress with the British national curriculum, from age 3 to 18, complementing it with Spanish Language and Cultural Studies and obtaining certifications in both languages.
Learners fast-track English fluency while continuing to grow in their home languages, taking up French or German as additional languages from Secondary School.
Through practical classes and group activities, students develop academic knowledge and essential life skills, including empathy, confidence and emotional intelligence.
Students are guided by teachers experienced in British education who know when to challenge and when to step in, mentoring them in their learning paths.
Learners achieve outstanding IGCSE and ESO plus A Level, Bachillerato and Spanish university access exams results, gaining access to prestigious universities and careers around the world.
Students thrive through a strong parent-school relationship. Teachers constantly update families about student progresses and needs while Parent Ambassadors collaborate to improve school life.
Learners grow, study and explore in our world-class campus with a dedicated building to each age stage, purpose-built labs, creative studios, sports fields and playgrounds.
Students collaborate with peers around the world through global skill-building programmes and learning opportunities as part of the International Schools Partnership network.
Children of all schools can join our Summer School, where learning English goes hand in hand with fun, getting a first glimpse into our caring community.
Students grow essential life skills and build academic knowledge through our enhanced British curriculum with additional learning opportunities in Spanish.
Early Years
Ages 3 - 5
Our youngest students grow with the Early Years Foundation Stage, learning through carefully planned activities, English language immersion and purposeful play, leading to academic, social and emotional development.
Primary School
Ages 5 - 11
Students consolidate social and life skills, while building foundations in key subjects and preparing for Secondary School. They progress through a bilingual education that complements the British national curriculum with Spanish Language and Cultural Studies.
Secondary School
Ages 11 - 16
Senior students develop their independence and initiative, taking the first steps towards their future with advanced classes and specialised teachers, while preparing for Spanish ESO and English IGCSE qualifications.
Sixth Form
Ages 16 - 18
Sixth formers take full ownership of their journey, advancing to specialised classes that lead to A Level and Spanish university access exams certifications and admittance in prestigious universities worldwide. They can complement their English studies with Spanish classes if they wish to access to top institutions in Spain.
As part of International Schools Partnership, every child’s journey is enriched with proven learning experiences that forever spark curiosity and grow confidence.
Enjoy personalised learning that continuously enhances knowledge, skills and understanding.
Gain life skills to thrive in academics, as well as careers and personal lives.
Develop proficiency in multiple world languages, while being supported in home or first languages.
Try global skill-building programmes that develop critical thinking, teamwork and leadership.
Benefit from personalised guidance for university and career choices, supporting your chosen path.
We believe every student should develop the skills to reflect, adapt and grow with confidence - skills that go beyond academics and prepare them for life.
Backed by Cambridge University through Camtree, International Schools Partnership’s Life Competencies framework ensures students gain the essential skills to make informed decisions, build strong relationships and thrive in their ever-changing world.
These skills are embedded throughout the learning experience, ensuring that every student actively develops the mindset and capabilities needed to succeed - now and in the future.
International learning is part of our schools’ DNA. Our students are encouraged to explore a range of world languages.
They strengthen their home or first language while learning at least one world language - ensuring they can communicate, collaborate and thrive in global environments.
This approach supports academic progress and prepares students for learning, careers and leadership in an interconnected world.
As part of International Schools Partnership, students take part in international learning opportunities that challenge thinking, spark curiosity and build global connections.Whether debating world issues at Model United Nations, competing in international chess tournaments, or collaborating on creative projects, every experience encourages students to ask big questions, reflect on their progress and make confident decisions.
These opportunities bring students together across countries and cultures, helping them think independently, communicate effectively and adapt to new challenges - skills they will use for life.
Future Pathways is a personalised programme that helps students explore opportunities, make informed decisions and confidently move towards university or careers.
With specialist guidance and industry connections, students gain valuable insights, refine their goals and access opportunities aligned with their ambitions.
Through exclusive scholarships, they also have unique opportunities to study with some of the world’s most renowned institutions, gaining skills for emerging careers and industries globally.

A truly international school
All the activities the school does, the charities, events and all is very innovative and also a great lesson for kids. It is very different from the traditional Spanish system, and for me that is a plus too.
