English School Los Olivos is a co-educational day school, for both Spanish and non-Spanish pupils. It was originally founded in 1976 by a small group of Spanish and English-speaking teachers as a bi-lingual Nursery School. The school now offers a full British curriculum, complemented by Spanish Language, Social Studies and Valencian, for children from 3 to 18 years of age. The school attempts to set new goals within its own educational horizons, linking the enrichment of learning a new language and culture with an educational philosophy that stresses responsibility, dialogue and mutual respect.
The school is run as a co-operative of British and Spanish teachers, all members of which work on the school staff. All the teachers are fully qualified in their respective areas. The school also has full-time educational psychologists and an emergency health service.
The school is situated in Campo Olivar, a quiet, residential area about 8 kilometres from Valencia which is well communicated with the centre of the city and the surrounding area by the Pista de Ademuz and the Valencia by-pass. School transport is provided for students from the city. The school is housed in two purpose-built premises, one for primary and one for secondary. Facilities include library, science laboratories, IT room, music and art rooms, sports and gymnastics areas and school canteens with their respective kitchens (the school menu is home-made).
Of a total of approximately 450 pupils, the large majority are from Spanish families in the area. However, from the age of 5, adequate knowledge of English for the corresponding age group is required for admission. The school is a recognised examination centre for Cambridge and Edexcel exams, enabling the students to take I.G.C.S.E exams at 16 and AS and A levels in Years 12 and 13. We also offer the possibility of students taking the C1 and C2 English exams. Students are also prepared for Spanish University Entrance Examinations. Once they have completed their studies with us, students can go to university in Spain, the UK or other countries.
The school day is from 9 am to 4.30 pm, Mondays to Fridays. The school year is from mid-September to the end of June, respecting the calendar for schools in Valencia. Outings and educational visits are organised at regular intervals throughout the school year. The school celebrates several English and Spanish festivals, especially Halloween, Christmas, the local Fallas fiesta and a Summer Fair. A wide range of extra-curricular activities are offered, and a summer school is also run during the month of July.
