The British School of Navarra

The school is committed to a bilingual and bicultural education that balances academic content with the development of inquiry, reflection, and communication skills. It fosters a community that is both international and locally rooted, encouraging students to develop confidence, curiosity, and a sense of purpose. The pedagogical approach is interactive, emphasizing practical learning, student initiative, and a climate of mutual respect.

The school follows the English National Curriculum (ENC) and is an authorised IB World School, offering the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12. Secondary students prepare for the IGCSE in Grades 9 and 10, while Spanish language, literature, and humanities are taught to meet local requirements, enabling a bilingual pathway. The curriculum includes subjects such as English, sciences, mathematics, French, German, art, music, and computing, with increasing elective choices as students progress.

Graduates are prepared for entry into both national and international universities. Students completing the IB Diploma Programme are not required to take the Spanish EVAU/EBAU exams, though eligibility for university entrance depends on their final IB grades and specific degree requirements. The school facilitates the homologation of studies to ensure students hold both international and Spanish certifications.

The school provides student support services, with additional assistance available for students with mild learning disabilities. English as an Additional Language (EAL) classes are offered as a supplementary service. Faculty members are trained to gauge learning and respond to individual student needs within the classroom.

The school accepts applications for students from Pre-Nursery (ages 2-3) through Grade 12 (ages 17-18). Prospective families are encouraged to contact the admissions department to request information or schedule a personalized visit. The process requires a registration fee and a one-time deposit, with specific tuition fees tiered by grade level.

The campus features specialized learning spaces including an art room, a laboratory, an IT room, and a library. Sports and recreational facilities consist of a football pitch, a gym, a covered sports area, and two playgrounds. The school also provides a theatre hall, two canteens, and a nurse’s office.

The school offers the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award and maintains a House System that includes activities such as the Middle School House Cup. Students participate in various school events, including assemblies, field trips, and theatrical performances. Additionally, the school promotes a well-rounded education through dedicated programmes in physical education, music, and the arts.
