10-04-2025

In the prestigious ranking published by Forbes magazine, our school appears among the 100 best schools in Spain and, even more, among the 5 best schools in the province of Malaga.

In the competitive Spanish educational landscape, achieving national recognition is no easy task, it requires sustained academic excellence, a solid educational proposal, commitment to innovation and a strong school community. For this reason, we are proud to say that The British School of Malaga has been recognized as one of the best schools in the province of Malaga and in all of Spain.
In the prestigious ranking published by Forbes magazine, our school appears among the 100 best schools in Spain and, even more, among the 5 best schools in the province of Malaga. This recognition encourages us to continue working with passion and responsibility, ensuring a first class education for our students.

In addition, the national newspaper El Mundo, in its annual selection of educational centers, has placed The British School of Malaga among the 35 best international schools in Spain, an elite category of which only two schools belong to the province of Malaga. 
The educational platform MiCole, a reference for thousands of families when comparing and choosing schools, we have been included among the 10 best schools in Malaga, thanks to the positive evaluations of families, students and experts.
These achievements are no coincidence. They are the reflection of an educational philosophy focused on excellence, the integral development of the student and a global vision of learning.

Why has The British School of Malaga been chosen as one of the best schools in Spain?

The criteria used by media such as Forbes, El Mundo or MiCole go far beyond academic results. They evaluate the quality of the teaching staff, pedagogical innovation, focus on languages, personalized attention to students, facilities, school leadership, international programs, family satisfaction and the development of 21st century skills.
Our private school in Málaga meets and exceeds these standards thanks to a balanced educational proposal that combines the best of the British curriculum with elements of the Spanish educational system, thus ensuring a complete, bilingual and global education.

Our students stand out for their critical thinking, their proficiency in English and Spanish, their academic preparation and their value-based education. Our international highly qualified teaching staff is constantly developing professionally. Our extracurricular and emotional wellness programs complement academic training, allowing each student to grow in a safe, stimulating and diverse environment.

In addition, being part of ISP Schools (International Schools Partnership), a global network of schools with a presence in more than 20 countries, allows us to enrich the educational experience with international exchanges, collaborative projects and unique learning opportunities beyond the classroom.
All this allows us to be one of the best schools in Spain, a recognition that we assume with responsibility and enthusiasm.

British education in Malaga

One of the pillars of our identity is to offer an authentic and rigorous British education in Malaga. Since its foundation, The British School of Malaga has followed the UK national curriculum, from Infant to Sixth Form (equivalent to the Spanish Bachillerato), finishing with the prestigious IGCSE and A-Levels examinations.
This academic structure allows our students to develop a solid knowledge base, along with essential skills such as problem solving, teamwork, effective communication and personal autonomy. The British system places a strong emphasis on critical thinking, creativity and the practical application of knowledge, preparing students to successfully access the best universities in the United Kingdom, Spain, the United States, the Netherlands and other international academic destinations.

In addition, our students participate in Spanish language and culture lessons, which also allows them to obtain the validation of their ESO and Spanish Bachillerato certificates, thus facilitating a double academic pathway.

At The British School of Málaga, our native and bilingual teachers, trained in active methodologies, work so that each student can reach his or her maximum potential. Personalized monitoring, continuous assessment and emotional support are key elements of our pedagogical approach.
Choosing British education in Malaga is to bet on a demanding, modern and adapted to a globalized world. And to do so in our school is to ensure a comprehensive, multicultural and recognized quality educational experience.

Chosen as one of the Top international schools in Spain

The international character of The British School of Málaga is not just a slogan, but a reality that is lived every day in our classrooms. With students and families of more than 40 nationalities, we foster an intercultural, open and respectful environment that enriches learning for all.
Our approach is not limited to bilingualism: we are committed to educating global citizens, committed to the values of diversity, sustainability and international cooperation. This translates into international projects, multicultural celebrations, solidarity activities and programs in collaboration with ISPI.
This international vocation, together with our excellent academic level, has led The British School of Malaga to be chosen as one of the best international schools in Spain, according to various rankings and independent evaluations.
