Schools on the Costa Calida

A great many English children attend state schools in Murcia and on the Costa Calida. Generally, the younger the child, the easier it is for them to integrate, though you can make the transition far easier for them by ensuring they can speak some Spanish before they start school.

State education in Spain is free although you may find you have to pay for books and materials. Children start school at 6 though most primary schools have a pre-school facility as well which takes children from the age of 3. There are other options available for educating your children – Spanish private schools, or fee-paying International schools, where your child will be taught in English and follow a curriculum which corresponds to that followed in British schools.
