ADMISSIONS

Welcome to El Altillo International School.

My name is Pilar Vergara, Head of Admissions and I encourage you to contact me and visit our school! I will be happy to accompany you in the process of finding your child’s future, one of the most important decisions.

I will inform you about our complete educational project, give you details about our fantastic staff, show you the facilities, answer all your questions and explain the steps to follow if you decide to enroll at any time of the year.

El Altillo International School was founded in 1998, with the aim of offering a comprehensive and personalized education to each of our students, according to the skills, aptitudes and values that they will need in the future.

It is currently ranked among the best schools in Andalusia, offering a unique educational project in the area, for children from 1 to 18 years old living in the province of Cadiz (11 daily bus routes). We have established a trilingual system for the teaching of the Spanish curriculum (Lomloe) and the international curriculum (International Baccalaureate), with immersion in English from kindergarten and learning French from the age of one.

Our educational project goes beyond the mere transmission of knowledge, as we firmly believe that learning is the acquisition of knowledge, skills and understanding, and we prepare our students to face the challenges of the 21st century, not only in academic terms, but also in the development of life skills that allow them to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Life Competencies are an essential component of our international educational methodology. These competencies, which include digital, interpersonal, cognitive, global and self-leadership skills, ensure that our students not only acquire knowledge, but also develop the ability to apply it in real life. This approach prepares them for academic success, and also equips them with the necessary tools to become leaders and agents of change in society.

At El Altillo International School, we understand that each student is unique. That is why we provide personalized attention from the first years of life, offering a safe, welcoming and happy environment. This emotional security is key for them to explore, learn and grow in a healthy way.

Our personalized attention allows each child to develop their abilities to the maximum, respecting their individual pace and needs. We have a team of highly qualified professionals who are dedicated to accompanying each student in their learning process, ensuring that they feel understood and motivated to achieve their goals.

At our school, innovation is an integral part of our methodology. We have incorporated the latest technologies in the classroom so that our students are creators and problem solvers. From robotics to the advanced use of digital tools, our students are always at the forefront of technological education.

Teaching is complemented by workshops, exchanges with other countries, participation in a multitude of external events and programs, cultural and artistic activities, sports, religious and recreational activities to forge the character of the students.

Our school is part of the International Schools Partnership chain, which has more than 85 schools around the world (South America, United States, Canada, Malaysia, Abu Dhabi, Europe, etc), 12 of them located in Spain, and prepares students to grow and learn to make the world a better place.

We thank you for your interest and look forward to welcoming you soon, either in person or online.

Best regards,

Pilar Vergara
