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.
