Start with the curriculum
If your stay is temporary or your children are mid-way through a British, American, French, German or IB programme, keep the same system.
International schools in Valencia
Choosing a school in Valencia: a practical guide for international families
Valencia has British, American, German, French and IB schools, most of them in the city centre or in the towns to the north and west. Choose the school first: it decides where the family should live.
Main international schools in the Valencia area
Curriculum and location as published by each school or by independent guides; always confirm places and fees directly with the school.
What it costs
Ranges published by iSchoolAdvisor for 2026; each school sets its own fees.
How to choose, and when to apply
Apply early
Apply 4–8 months ahead; for September, January is the safest time. Some year groups fill quickly.
Then choose the area
Puçol and El Puig for the schools to the north; Rocafort, Godella, Paterna, La Eliana and Bétera for the north-west; the centre for city schools.
