British Education System
Based on the British curriculum, our teaching aims to strengthen the cultural ties between Britain and Spain, encouraging the integration of our students, motivating and stimulating them at an academic and personal level.
BSV is recognised by both the British and Spanish education authorities. Students obtain both official certificates: A-Level and Spanish Bachillerato qualifications.
The school nurtures an all-round personal development, fostering students’ individuality and social integration for them to tackle future social and professional responsibilities.
Academic Excellence
BSV strives to offer a distinct educational model providing an excellent British education both at an academic and human level.
Through a combination of hard work from the students, as well as the guidance and support of their teachers, pupils manage to reach their goals in their official examinations. This allows our students to get into the university of their choice, whether in Spain, the UK or any other foreign country.
BSV Community
Since the school was founded in 1992, BSV has continued to thrive and improve to meet the shifting requirements of an ever-changing world.
Throughout this transformation, the school has made it a priority that the family feeling fostered from the very beginning continues to pervade.
Mr Capper is and experienced school and system leader. Prior to joining BSV he was Headteacher at The Marvell College, a large secondary school in the North of England and prior to that he was Head of Teaching School at The Pathfinder Teaching School Hub in York. These roles afforded him a breadth of experiences both in supporting schools and developing staff.
Our teachers
BSV rely on the essential contribution of highly qualified teachers to make our educational vision a reality.
Made up of British and Spanish staff, but also from other nationalities such as French, German, Chinese or American, our teachers invest their time and dedication to improve their student’s wellbeing, motivating and guiding them throughout their educational journey.
