In Spain, a bilingual school is one which has a large proportion of subjects taught in English. Most of these, however, only offer between 6 and 10 hours of classes per week in English. El Altillo International School is a genuinely trilingual school because between 80 to 100% of its Early Years classes are taught in foreign languages.
