Guide to choose between State and Private Schooling in Spain

29th June 2015 by Admin

book-15584_640Confused between state schools and private schools of Spain? This piece of writing can help you in this regard. You are not the only who is wrestling between state school and private school, as both options have their own pros and cons. Further in this article, I will highlight some of the main points of state and private school, which can help you in taking your final decision.

State Schools in Spain:

Standard of state education in Spain has been changed drastically since last decade. But still, there are some facilities in which state schools are far behind than private schools in Spain. However, lacking few facilities doesn’t made them a bad option. One of the most important aspect of state school is that there fee is much more affordable than private schools. The only thing that you have to worried about are the books (which can be expensive), and minimal educational fee per year. Another positive side is that you child will learn pure Spain, as in state School English is considered as second language.

Requirements of Admission in State School:

Once you have taken decision of admitting your child into a state school, then you’ll need following things for the admission:

  • Test or interview which will be conducted by school staff.
  • A copy of your child’s academic record. Make sure to get all the certificate and necessary education proof with you before leaving your country. You can also contact schools in Spain in advance to know what exactly you will need.
  • Copy of birth certificate, passport, medical record, residential proof, and convalidation proof.

Private Schooling in Spain:

Types of Private School in Spain:

In private sector, two options of schooling are available. One has Spanish medium, in which all the courses are taught in Spanish. Second options is for the international candidates that can choose either British education medium or American Education Medium.

Fee of Private School in Spain:

Fee of Private school is considerably high:schools in spain

  • 4.000 – 6.000 EUR per year for international School.

You will have to pay separately for books and uniforms, which mean at the end you will be applying quite handsome amount of money.

Drawbacks of Both Private Schools:

One of the most common complain comes from Spanish medium school is that they are low in standard as compare to international medium. Therefore, before admitting your child remember to take survey of both types. In international system, your child’s educational will be good but he will miss some of the cultural elements of Spanish society.

 

Conclusion:

Education is one of the most sensitive matter of your child’s life. Therefore, there is no need to hurry up. Sit down and do your homework first and then admit. If you are going to stay in Spain for long time, then state school are the good option. However, if your stay is short, then international private school are the best option as your child will stay in touch with the international educational standards.
