And running it as a B&B for Brit tourists
Osuna is a lovely town with a small ex-pat comunity, popular with Spanish tourists in the summer.

Re: place in the sun
Also I know some people don't like the idea of children going to British schools in Spain and think they should mix with locals in state schools. Anyway, I couldn't teach in a state school at the moment and 80% of the children at the school I'm going to are Spanish anyway.
In the four years she's been there, there have only been three other British girls, and their families have all, for various reasons, moved back to the UK.

Re: place in the sun
My eldest was a different story, at 17 I feel he's too old to be able to fit in so we needed an English speaking school, unfortunately, he wants to do Psychology A level and we can't find a local school that does it.
The other option was to take a year out, learn Spanish intensively and then go to the local Institute to do the I.B.

Don't any of the International Schools where you're looking offer the opportunity of doing Psychology as part of the IB?

Not that I've seen in all the details I've had.To be honest he's such a lazy little sod I doubt he would put the work in anyway (had a letter from the school today saying he's not attending lessons or handing in coursework for one of his subjects) I'm at my wits end with him!

Re: place in the sun
Unlikely in Spain as Geography/History/Economics are all in the same group as Psychology at IB and you can only choose one as you have to study 6 subjects. IB centres are not as large in Spain as in UK so subjects have to be more mainstream. You stand more chance of it being offered at A level.
