International Schools

The Canary Islands host a diverse selection of world-class schools catering to the global expat community. From the long-standing British schools in the south of Tenerife (like Wingate or BST) to the highly-ranked American School and Oakley College in Las Palmas, you can find a curriculum that aligns with your home country or prepares your children for international universities.

In this section, you will find listings for schools offering the IB Diploma, A-Levels, and IGCSEs, as well as specialized German and French international schools. Many of these institutions provide essential services like door-to-door school buses, native-speaking teachers, and extensive extracurricular programs. Whether you are searching for a nursery in Puerto de la Cruz or a secondary college in Arrecife, use these community-sourced profiles to compare facilities and teaching philosophies.

Note for Parents: Admissions in the Canaries can be competitive, especially for the “Outstanding” rated schools. We recommend contacting the admissions offices directly to inquire about waiting lists, tuition fees, and the specific documentation required for the Spanish Ministry of Education equivalency.
