The British education system

At Cambridge House British International School, we follow the National Curriculum for England, a globally recognised framework that provides a structured, well-rounded education.  

This curriculum is designed to ensure steady academic progression, helping students build on their knowledge year after year while developing the skills they need for future success. 

The National Curriculum of England covers a broad range of subjects, offering a balanced education that fosters both intellectual growth and creativity. It is not just about academic achievements; it also focuses on developing essential life skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication, which are crucial for our students’ future success. By following this curriculum, our students are equipped with the academic rigor required for university admission worldwide. The National Curriculum of England is respected by universities globally, making it an excellent foundation for students aiming for higher education, whether in Spain, the UK or other countries internationally. 

At Cambridge House, we teach the full curriculum in English, offering an immersive English-language learning experience. In addition to this, we ensure that all students meet the required Spanish academic standards by including the mandatory Spanish subjects as set by the Valencian educational system. These subjects are taught in Spanish, allowing students to achieve fluency in both languages. We also provide dedicated support for students learning Spanish and English as second languages, ensuring they receive the help they need to succeed in both their academic work and language development. 

Through this approach, we provide our students with a comprehensive education that prepares them not only for academic success but also for a future in an increasingly interconnected world. 

From day one, students are encouraged to solve problems, work collaboratively, and think both creatively and analytically. These essential skills not only prepare them for academic success but also for the challenges they will face in their personal and professional lives. 

One of the key features of our curriculum is The Journey programme, a unique initiative of Globeducate British International Schools that embraces outdoor education to teach children life skills and learning skills through practical, hands-on experiences. The Journey runs throughout a student's time at Cambridge House, evolving developmentally to meet their growing needs. It provides a rich, immersive opportunity for students to build resilience, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills, all through outdoor challenges. The programme culminates with the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE), which recognises their personal development and commitment to adventure, service, and skill-building. 

In addition to The Journey, we offer numerous learning opportunities beyond the classroom, including outdoor learning activities, events, and trips that complement and enrich the academic curriculum. These experiences allow students to connect with the world around them, build confidence, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their surroundings. 

Our university orientation programme provides further guidance as students approach the next stage of their education. Through individual tutoring sessions, vocational assessments, and informative talks, we help students navigate the often-complex process of choosing a career path. 

To support our students' diverse interests and talents, we also offer an extensive extracurricular programme. From artistic and creative activities to sports and academic enrichment, our extracurricular offerings are designed to nurture students’ passions and expand their horizons, ensuring a well-rounded education that meets the individual needs and aspirations of each student.
