El Plantio International School Costa Blanca Spain

(Valencia) El Plantio International School is situated on the outskirts of Valencia, in the residential area of El Plantio, near the village of La Cañada.

El Plantio is a privately owned, co-educational British school catering for pupils from Nursery (aged 3-4 years) to Year 13 (aged 17-18years). The school is a member of the National Association of British Schools in Spain and is officially recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science. El Plantio follows the British National Curriculum, with students studying for IGCSE examinations in up to 11 subjects in years 10 and 11.

El Plantio is an authorised centre to deliver the International Baccalaureate programme to years 12 and 13 in conjunction with the "selectividad", giving students access to university education in Spain or abroad.

A bilingual International Baccalaureate programme is offered in years 12 and 13 with simultaneous preparation for the Spanish university entrance examinations. Spanish language and social studies, and Valencian are also taught, the last being optional for non-Spanish students. A weekly assembly and a PSHE period complete a curriculum structure which combines the best of British and Spanish educational methodologies.

The school is housed in a purpose-built building which includes two laboratories, a modern, well-equipped I.T. room, a well-stocked library and a large spacious hall which is used for assemblies, theatre and various performances. There is a large dining area, and outside the school has extensive play areas, a sports ground and a swimming pool. In January 2000, a new site, situated opposite the main building, was opened and houses predominantly IGCSE and IB students. Extra-curricular activities are offered both at lunchtime and after school and range from arts-related activities through various sports to additional studies.

The compulsory curriculum is supplemented with a wide variety of optional extra curricular activities for students ranging from football, tennis, judo, rhythmic gymnastics, chess, piano and guitar.

All staff are fully-qualified British teachers. The School also has bilingual primary assistants and a bilingual educational psychologist.
