Learning support offered
|
Laude's approach to teaching and learning takes the child within the classroom and treats that child at the level of his or her educational needs. These may be unique, are certainly important, and to each child they are special. Laude holds the view that all children can learn, and that a ’deficit’ model, which looks solely at weaknesses, has no place in modern education. It is Laude's responsibility to look for both strengths and weaknesses in every child in order to support them in fulfilling their academic, social and emotional potential.

Blending rigorous British academic standards with a truly international outlook, we equip students with the knowledge, skills and global perspective to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Students follow core subjects while choosing optional courses that match their interests and future aspirations. This personalised approach encourages independence, responsibility and deeper academic understanding. With expert guidance and a rigorous British curriculum, students develop analytical, practical and study skills that prepare them for further education in Spain, the UK or internationally.

In Years 12 and 13, students between 16 and 18 refine their choice of subjects according to their future career options.

Throughout the Sixth Form our students follow an extensive enriched curriculum which includes career advice, community service and job-related learning.

Students at Laude San Pedro International College on the Costa del Sol follow Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO), the Spanish national curriculum. This allows them to complete the full Spanish academic pathway, progress to Bachillerato and prepare confidently for university.
