6 Questions to Ask When Choosing an International School in Spain or Portugal

Choosing the right international school for your child can be challenging, especially if you are exploring options in a new country like Spain or Portugal. Below are six questions to help you shortlist the best international schools in Lisbon or Valencia for your family.

Which curriculum does the school offer?

Different schools follow different curricula, such as the International Baccalaureate (IB), British or American. Some schools offer a mix of these. Do your research so that you know what the school offers, how the curriculum is delivered and whether it matches your child's learning style and academic goals.

What are the academic results?

Ask for the school’s past exam results to get a sense of the academic achievement of its students.  However, grades do not provide the full picture. Inquire how international schools in Valencia or Lisbon support all students, not just top performers.

What type of facilities does the school offer?

School facilities can affect your child's learning experience. Visit the school to evaluate the quality of the library, sports facilities, art room, science labs, auditorium and cafeteria. If your child has specific interests, like music or drama, ensure that the school has the appropriate facilities for these activities.

Which extracurricular activities are available?

A broad range of extracurricular activities will offer your child the opportunity to explore their interests and discover new ones.  They can also help develop your child’s social skills and confidence. Ask to see the list of activities on offer.

Does the school have an active parent association?

It is likely that your child’s school will be a social focal point for your family.  A school that has an engaged and active parent association will facilitate your and your child’s transition to the new environment.

What are the school fees?

Inquire about all of the school fees.  Is a deposit due upon registration?  Is it refundable?  Is it deducted from the first term’s fees? Are school meals, after-school activities and educational materials included in tuition or not? Does the school offer a sibling discount?
