Local Spanish School for English kids

@soozmottershead

  Very easy to navigate,  public schools are great especially for language learning for the small kids,  They will be speaking Spanish in 3-6 months.  We live near Barcelona in Catalunya so the instruction is in Catalan. My 14 year old son is quite fluent after only 2 school years here.  He also speaks Chinese, French and English so Spanish and Catalan are much easier to learn.  Message me for assistance, I'm semi retired so always looking for projects!  Lmf

@Lmflmf1 thanks so much for your message I appreciate it! Your son's languages will out him in great stead for the future!

I think we might go for a bilingual school. They're 3 and 5. I'm just trying to find one in or around marbella that isn't Catholic!

Thank you for this great conversation. I am planning to move to either Barcelona or Malaga next year. My youngest son will be 16, so his last two years of "high school." We also are not Catholic. For anyone who is navigating the system, I wonder if you know anything about going into university. Specifically, I am trying to find out if getting the Spanish Baccalaureate is sufficient to attend universities in Europe or does a student need to have the IB?

Thank you!

Difficult to find a non catholic school, for sure.  My son goes to religion class without ever stepping into a church or cathedral and isn't about to!  Just to get him through to university to study his languages is our goal…😀😀😀

The public schools in Catalunya are not religious.

Before children want to go to the public university they're doing an exam " bachilerato" to test them and orientate them.

There exist private universities but they don't have a good reputation
