Oakley College is a British International school in Gran Canaria, Spain, providing education for students aged 2 to 18. It offers a multilingual environment that combines the British National Curriculum with the Spanish curriculum, preparing students for university entrance in Spain, the UK, and globally.

Teaching approach

The school promotes a family atmosphere that prioritizes student happiness, safety, and individual development. Its core values—respect, responsibility, and resolving problems—are integrated into the curriculum to foster well-rounded, confident, and socially committed individuals. The school utilizes an "accelerated learning" methodology, which seeks to identify and develop each student's unique learning style to maximize their potential.

Programmes

The school follows the British National Curriculum, with approximately 80% of the curriculum taught in English by UK-qualified teachers. The academic structure is divided into Early Years (ages 2-5), Primary, Secondary (Key Stages 3 and 4), and Sixth Form. Students may work towards the Spanish Bachillerato, A-Levels, or a dual award of both, and are prepared for Cambridge English Language exams (FCE, CAE, CPE). The curriculum also emphasizes life skills, the arts, music, and sport, with an optional third language of French or German.
