School in Estepona

The school belongs to Estepona

Cancelada is one of Estepona's eastern hubs, with its own everyday services, supermarkets, restaurants and padel courts within minutes. The school is in Urb Costalita, close to both the coast and the A-7, which makes it easy to reach from across the municipality.

Being in Estepona rather than central Marbella shows mainly in the pace: less traffic at drop-off and pick-up, and a shorter distance to the beach and the sports facilities used during the school day.

Why families in Estepona choose the school

For families in Estepona proximity is the obvious advantage, but most name something else as decisive: the school is small. Staff know every child, and new pupils settle into the group quickly even mid-year.

• A short school run – under ten minutes for many in the area
• Swedish curriculum, taught in Swedish, with Spanish and English every week
• A maximum of 16 pupils per class
• After-school care after the school day

Which ages and year groups do we take?

We take preschool children from the age of 3 (from 2 in exceptional cases) and pupils up to and including year 6. For secondary school and sixth form we offer a study place and supervision at the school while the pupil studies through Sofia Distans or Hermods.

Teaching follows the Swedish national curriculum and is delivered in Swedish, with Spanish and English every week. The school is a private school supervised by the Junta de Andalucía (the Spanish education authority for Andalusia, which authorises and inspects every school in the region) and is approved by the Swedish National Agency for Education for supplementary Swedish tuition – we are not a state-funded Swedish school abroad.

• Preschool from age 3 (from 2 in exceptional cases)
• Preschool class and years 1–6
• Distance learning for secondary and sixth form on site
• Small groups – a maximum of 16 pupils per class

Choosing a school in Estepona – how we differ

Estepona has Spanish state and private schools as well as international schools taught in English. The choice is rarely about which school is best in general, but about which system suits your family's plan.

If you intend to stay long term and put down local roots, a Spanish school makes a lot of sense. If the horizon is uncertain, or you want to keep the door to Sweden open, continuity in the Swedish curriculum weighs more. With us children study Spanish every week and meet the language in daily life regardless.
