Excellence in British Education
At O Castro, English is the language of instruction from day one.
- Nursery (3 years old): 100% of lessons in English
- Reception (4 years old): gradual introduction of Spanish
- Primary: 72% English | 28% Spanish
- Secondary: 77% English | 23% Spanish
We follow the National Curriculum of England, an internationally recognised curriculum that combines academic rigour with practical learning, creativity and personal development.
This system opens the doors to prestigious Spanish universities (both public and private) and international universities, preparing students not only academically, but also as well-rounded, curious and committed individuals.
As part of Globeducate, our students have access to international experiences, events and projects shared with more than 65 schools in 11 countries, ensuring a truly global education.
Outdoor learning: ‘The Journey’
From the age of 3, our students participate in ‘The Journey’, an exclusive outdoor learning programme integrated across the curriculum. This programme:
- Develops character, resilience and leadership
- Enhances social and emotional skills
- Fosters connection with nature and teamwork
‘The Journey’ also lays the foundation for continuing with the renowned Duke of Edinburgh's International Award programme in higher grades.
Facilities for experimenting, creating and learning
The facilities at O Castro British International School are designed to be an essential part of learning. Innovative spaces such as the recently opened Creativity Lab, together with the Black Box for public speaking and performing arts and the Green Zone for outdoor learning, are part of a continuous improvement plan designed to keep enriching the educational experience. These environments allow students to learn in a practical, creative and experiential way, developing the skills, abilities and mindset necessary to successfully face the academic and personal challenges of the future.
