Earlier this month, FORBES Spain analysed the educational sector and produced a ranking of 100 best schools throughout Spain.

Two of the top schools in Spain are in the Marbella area - its original article here.

Due to the pandemic and the limited capacity for face-to-face attendance, the analysis of this list has undergone a fundamental change compared to the previous year. In 2021 for example, none of Marbella's schools appeared in the first 5.


In this year's ranking, the second place went to Laude San Pedro International College, Marbella

This private school, located in the city of Marbella, has an impressive selection of extracurricular activities, while the British national curriculum of the Laude San Pedro International College is taught from year 3 to 18, with the option of studying ESO and Spanish Baccalaureate with up to 65% of classes in English.

The three pillars of its educational model are based on the fact that its students study in a safe, happy and suitable environment for learning. All work is designed to ensure that this premise is met, even more so in times of covid. The group is made up of 11 schools with more than 8,000 students in Spain, and is part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), a growing global educational group made up of 45 schools around the world.
