Schools in Alicante for expat families

British, international and bilingual school options in Alicante — and how to think about timing, fees and admissions.

British and international schools in and around Alicante teach the British or IB curriculum and are a popular choice for families planning to return to the UK or wanting English-language continuity.

Concertado schools are state-subsidised semi-private Spanish schools, often bilingual, and significantly cheaper than international schools.

Public Spanish schools are free and excellent for full integration — best for younger children who pick up Spanish quickly.

Admissions deadlines run earlier than in the UK. We build a school shortlist matched to your kids' ages, your area and your budget as part of the Family Relocation package.
