Top International Schools on the Costa del Sol

Are you thinking about relocating your family to southern Spain, where there are more than 325 sun filled days every year? Then you have surely thought about what school is the best fit for your children.

Along the Costa del Sol, you will find that there is a wide variety of international schools to choose from.

The great thing about international schools is that they are mostly bilingual, which means your children will thrive in an environment where there are students from all over the world. They will experience many new cultures that will enrich them from early on.
