Our school services

At O Castro British International School we want to help our families to reconcile their family and work life, so we offer our students a wide range of services that we hope will make the daily life of our school community easier.

In addition, we encourage our students to create a strong and inclusive school community, where we help each other in our quest to become better people capable of shaping the world.

Our school canteen

All school meals are prepared daily in our own kitchen by a qualified chef, under the strict supervision of a dietician. We are happy to cater for any dietary requirements, whether for medical or religious reasons and, of course, a vegetarian option is available.

For students arriving early to school, our breakfast club provides a nutritious start to the day. We promote a healthy attitude towards food and encourage our students to enjoy mealtimes and develop both good table manners and healthy eating habits.

Other school services

Comprehensive school bus network

Families' busy schedules or professional commitments can make it difficult for parents to take their children to school or pick them up. For this reason, we manage more than 12 bus routes in Vigo and its metropolitan area, including Cangas, Moaña, Pontevedra or A Cañiza. In addition, we have opened a new bus route that covers the Baixo Miño area and the border with Portugal, connecting the towns of A Guarda and Tui, passing through Goián and Tomiño. If you would like to receive detailed information about the O Castro British International School bus routes, please send an e-mail to bus@bisocastro.com.

Extended timetable

We understand how stressful it can be to juggle current timetables with the beginning and end of a traditional school day. For this reason, we have a morning breakfast club and an afternoon after-school club that operate every day of the week. The breakfast club starts at 08:00, while the afternoon club is open from 16:20 to 17:30 or until 18:10, depending on the needs of each family.
