A' levels in Spain
 

Can anyone tell me about A'levels in Spain. My son wants to take Maths, History, French and Spanish at our local college in the UK. The problem is we want to take a career break for up to 2 years in Spain.

Do the International colleges offer similar courses in or around Elche. I have checked the Education web sites but am still confused. Also are the exams compatable with the UK Education System?

Any advice/experience on this will be greatly appreciated.

Try the free beer thread, or a search as there must be a hundred threads on schools in Spain.

Only private (paid) English schools do A levels. Local (free) schools are all in Spanish running a different syllabus.

The exams in international schools are IGCSE which are perfectly compatable with the British system. You would need to contact the schools you are interested in to make sure that the choices fit into their timetable.

Thanks everyone. I found a nice international school in Alicante but he has put his foot down and staying in the uk during term time with his grandparents.
