For families moving to Seville, schooling is often the decision that shapes everything else — including where you live. This guide explains the main options in plain terms and how to think about the choice.
The Spanish school system at a glance
Spain has three broad types of school:
- Public (público) — state-funded and free, teaching in Spanish
- Concertado — privately run but partly state-funded, usually with low fees
- Private (privado) — fully fee-paying, including international and bilingual schools
International and bilingual schools
A number of private schools in and around Seville offer international or bilingual curricula, which can suit families who want continuity with a home-country system or teaching partly in English.
