International vs. Spanish State schools

I put my kids in public school in Castelldefels near Barcelona in the 1990s and they adjusted well, but at a young age it is a good idea to ask the teacher and administration how they are adjusting. My youngest son, who didn't know any Catalan, was staying by himself at patio (recess), until my daughter told me and I talked with the school administration, so they helped get him integrated.

Hi Heatherrrr,

Spain is a vibrant country and an ideal destination to experience a unique educational and cultural environment. With people famed for their hospitality, its lovely weather and astonishing culture, Spain boasts world-class facilities and prestigious schools.

Of course, when moving to Spain with your kids it's worth to consider that, certain regions (such as Catalunya, Basque Country, Galicia, and Valencia) have their own language/dialect and it is compulsory to learn all or some subjects in these languages at school. If you'd like your kids to keep studying in English while learning Spanish, then I recommend you to check one of the International schools listed on this page (https://world-schools.com/best-internat … -in-spain/ ).

The cost of a private, international education in Spain is somewhat less than other comparable European countries, with the bonus of being able to learn a language as important as Spanish while maintaining or improving the level of English.

I hope you will find this useful,

Bye KIA
