Spanish Curriculum: ESO and Bachillerato

XIC offers a unique opportunity for students to follow both the British and Spanish educational pathways. Alongside A Levels, students can complete the Spanish ESO (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria) and Bachillerato programmes, ensuring they graduate with dual qualifications recognised across Europe.

To obtain the ESO certificate, students follow the Castellano track, studying key subjects such as Spanish Language, Geography, History, and Valenciano.

Those continuing with Bachillerato in Years 12 and 13 benefit from a curriculum that complements the A Level programme, giving them access to both British and Spanish universities.

Our Spanish Department provides tailored support for all language levels, from beginners to advanced native speakers. Students are continuously assessed to ensure they progress and meet the necessary academic requirements.

This integrated approach offers maximum flexibility and opens doors to a broad range of higher education opportunities both in Spain and internationally.
