British schools in Tenerife. British children living as ex-pats in Tenerife are eligible for Spanish state schools, after submitting umpteen forms. They receive no special treatment - everything is conducted in Spanish, whether they speak it or not.
Still, it's a good way to learn the language, isn't it?
For those parents who don't want to put their offspring through the trauma of attending a school where they don't even speak the language, there is an alternative.
As far as I'm aware, there are five British educational establishments in Tenerife (please correct me if I'm wrong, using the feedback link).
The main drawback to sending your child to one of these is that they are all fee-paying. The Spanish state ones are, of course, free (provided you're legally resident and paying tax and social security).
Accepting pupils from nursery level (age 3) right up to "sixth form" (16+ A level students), this establishment is found in the south of the island, nestling in the quiet Canarian village of Cabo Blanco.
It is about a 15 minute drive out of Los Cristianos.
