International English School of Castellón opened in July 2009 and since 2024 is part of the well-established Dukes Education group. Students are able to join our pre-school at age 1 or as soon as they can walk and follow a bilingual programme until the age of three, at which point they follow the English National Curriculum. In Key Stage 4 our students are prepared for IGCSE examinations which can be validated to obtain the Spanish Secondary Certificate of Education. Students who continue into Key Stage 5 can study ‘AS’ and ‘A’ levels as well as preparing the Spanish examinations.

Located on the outskirts of the city of Castellón, the purpose built school includes an outdoor 20 metre swimming pool, auditorium, multi-court areas, two ICT suites, science laboratories and library.

Lessons are taught by fully qualified first language teachers, all of whom are dedicated to achieving the best possible results for every student. In addition to the teaching staff, the school has support assistants, a psychologist, chef, and ICT technician.

The school operates a positive ethos policy, which includes regular reinforcement of good behaviour and acknowledgement of success. This is effective in developing a collective responsibility for each other and for the environment of the school. The development of the whole child is of great importance. All students are regarded as individuals and are encouraged to reach their full potential irrespective of academic ability, social background or race. In doing so, the aim is to nurture and develop happy, confident, motivated and self-disciplined children who are considerate, tolerant and sensitive to the needs of others.
