When it comes to cities in Spain, Madrid and Barcelona are usually the first to come to people’s minds. However, Sevilla, the country’s fourth largest city and largest in the region of Andalucia, is an underrated destination for many reasons.

Sevilla has everything that the more well-known Spanish cities have, such as culture, history, beauty, and infrastructure. What it can offer on top of all that, however, is easy access to the Costa del Sol, with its golden beaches and blue sea. That’s why an increasing number of expats are calling Sevilla their home away from home, and why international schools are becoming more common in Andalucia.

Sounds interesting? Here’s what you should know…

Before anything else, we should mention one thing. If you’re expecting the same choice of international schools in Seville as in Spain’s other big cities, prepare to be disappointed. The choice of schools available now is somewhat limited. But don’t worry - there are still enough options for you to find one that suits your child’s needs.

In terms of locations, there are a small number of international schools close to the centre of Sevilla. However, most of them are spread out around the suburbs of the city. Be sure to factor this into your plans when you’re looking for accommodation.

International schools in Sevilla, as in the rest of Spain, are required to offer Spanish as a language of tuition as well as the main language of the international school. So if you were hoping for a choice of tuition languages, you’re in luck. Attending an international school in Sevilla will give your child plenty of exposure to European languages.

There are large numbers of British expats throughout Spain, so naturally the most popular curriculum in Sevilla’s international schools is the British one. However, despite the smaller choice of schools in the city, quite a variety of other curricula is available; you’ll see German, French, American and the IB (International Baccalaureate) on offer.

Native English-speaking teachers are also common in international schools in Sevilla, thanks again to the large community of British expats in Spain. So if improving your child’s English language skills is a priority for you, Sevilla is an excellent choice.

The school calendar in Sevilla’s international schools is the same as the rest of Europe. If your child has been attending school in another European country, then there will be minimal disruption to their learning.
