PRESENTATION

Accreditation

The British School of Navarra is a fully licensed international school by the Ministry of Education of the Government of Spain and authorised by the Comunidad Foral de Navarra under the school code 31013653.

Although teaching is mainly in English, students also learn Spanish. The subject of Spanish Language and Literature, taken at both primary and secondary level, follows the requirements of the Department of Education of the Government of Navarre. Our students learn the same content that is taught in Spanish schools, allowing for a true bilingual education. This also allows the homologation of their studies at the end of secondary school and baccalaureate.

The school is registered by the Spanish authorities as a “foreign teaching centre” and certified by NIS (NABBS Inspection Service) to teach pupils from Pre-Nursery (2 to 3 years of age) to Year 13 (17 to 18 years of age), according to the English National Curriculum (ENC).

From secondary school onwards, students prepare for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) which takes place in Years 10 and 11. Through a very rigorous two-year programme that requires hard work and commitment, students receive the international IGCSE certification.

Success at IGCSE allows pupils to gain access to A levels, a two-year course in Year 12 and 13. A-levels follow a rigorous academic programme, assessed externally, which is supplemented by key elements of the Spanish Bachillerato and enables pupils to enter top universities across the world, including Spanish universities.
