(Granada) Founded in 1989, and owned by a consortium of parents, Almuñecar International School is an independent, coeducational day school for students in the Reception to Upper Sixth (Year 13), age range. It was established in order to serve a community of native Spanish and expatriate European (predominantly British) families requiring an English style of education for their children, and is a non-profit making establishment. Altogether, sixteen nationalities are currently represented in the student body.
The education offered at A.I. S., is based on the National Curriculum, (England and Wales), but Spanish and Spanish Social Studies also feature on all students' timetables. In the Primary School, latest strategies in numeracy and literacy have been initiated. In the Secondary School, students sit for IGCSE at the end of Year 1 1 and either "A" level or Selectividades or both at the end of Year 13. A wide range of options is offered.
Gradual further expansion is currently planned for the academic year 2000-2001; an extension comprising four new classrooms and a multi-purpose room is envisaged. Present facilities include, amongst the nineteen classrooms, two science laboratories, a computing suite, a library and an art studio. An all-weather sports pitch is provided for physical education, and the extra- curricular programme currently includes football, , basketball, chess, drama, yoga, skiing, aerobics, and many cultural activities. The School has a very active exchange link with students in Sweden.
