Schools in Tenerife - Private and State
If you are moving to Tenerife and you have children one of the things that will be at the forefront of your mind is their education. You have to decide as to whether you will be putting them into the Spanish State Education system or if they will be going to a private English School. Some of the facts to take into consideration are the children’s ages and the cost of Private fees. If you have several children the cost of private education may be prohibitive. The other consideration of course is that the private English Schools do follow the English Educational system so they do GCSE’s and SAT’s so if you decide to leave Tenerife and go back to the UK your children should be able to continue where they left off. If your children are quite young say up to age 9 they should fit into the Spanish system well as they will pick the language up quite quickly.
1. Entry Requirements for Private Schools
Entry requirements vary from school to school and I would advise that you look at all possibilities before making your choice.
2. Requirements for State Schools
Traditionally, parents needed a whole list of requirements before their child could be considered for a state school including reports etc but the rules have since eased and although not necessary anymore here's an idea of what was needed just in case you want to take them.
NIE/Residencia
Birth Certificate
School Reports
Medical Vaccination/Card
Passport/s
Photographs each child (Not Digital)
A FULL Birth Certificate is required showing the fathers name
