International / private schools Seville
We are hoping to move to Seville next year and have 3 children - 2 boys (14 and 12 years) and one girl (8 years). We need to find out about schooling and are fortunate enough to have savings to put them through private education if necessary. Can anyone recommend any international or private schools in the Seville area? Their knowledge of Spanish is good, but basic - so predominantly english-speaking schools please.

Your best bet would be an international school...meaning a Spanish school following Spanish curriculum but some of the classes are taught in English (for the benefit of the Spanish kids).
Or move to a costa.

I'd recommend using this as a guide. The schools affiliated to it follow strict guide lines. The international schools that I know of, both inland and on the coasts, all teach in english (unless otherwise stated) and follow the english curriculum. But obviously there are many different criteria! Private schools tend to teach in Spanish and use the Spanish curriculum, altho many claim to be bi/multilingual

Also note that the school details for some schools is in Spanish - strange given that they are teaching solely in English - you'd have thought they'd be in both languages. As the details for some is held in an image, translation tools don't work.

Re: International / private schools Seville
there is a spanish run bilingual school in Seville called San Francisco de Paula. I have no idea what it's like, but they advertise for british teachers so I imagine most subjects are taught in English. It gets a bit of a bad press on teachers forums but make up your own mind.

Also the St George's group (british curriculum) has recently opened - or is about to open - a school somewhere in or near Seville. New schools are always a bit of an unknown quantity but it's worth a look.

Re: International / private schools Seville
Remember that at the "international" schools (Spanish curriculum, some classes taught in Eng) there are usually more classes taught in English at the younger levels, but they have more and more classes in Spanish as they get older because the exams are 100% Spanish of course.
Jojo - don't forget, British schools with British curriculums are only likely to be found where there are high concentration of Brits, ie the costas (and perhaps one or two in Madrid/Barcelona).
