What a school this is! Our school is one of ‘core values’ and one of ‘family’. Our slogan, ‘Growing our Future Together’, says much and is palpable within these walls.
We truly have a learning community where everyone, the students, the teachers, ancillary staff and parents are all learning and ‘getting better’.
Our core values (Aspiration, Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, Independence, Leadership, Reflection and Resilience) underpin everything we do, so that our whole school community thrives as a centre of learning in the heart of Malaga.
We firmly believe that through the learning they experience in BSM and our core values, our students leave BSM as confident young people ready for this ever-changing world. I am sure that you will enjoy this brief introduction to our school.
But please don’t take my word for it. Come in, join us and see for yourself. I will look forward to meeting you soon.

Learning
At British School of Málaga we teach the English national curriculum, for children from 3 to 18 years. Our school implements UK teaching methodology using the British educational system, which is internationally recognised for its prestige and academic results.
The teaching language is English. All our teachers are UK qualified and native speakers, prepared to teach their subjects just as they would in an English school in the UK or in any other part of the world. In fact, one of the great advantages of the British system is that it is in place in a large number of countries which allows families to move countries without any drastic educational changes for their children.
Facilities
British School of Málaga is situated in a beautiful area, surrounded by trees and green areas.
The Primary and Secondary school are in the Main Building, alongside the School Reception and the School Office. The classrooms are split across four floors, two of which are for Primary and two for Secondary. The school includes specialised classrooms for Music, ICT, 4 Science laboratories, an Art workshop and Media Studies room. There are separate libraries for Primary and Secondary, a Sixth Form common room and a large dining room where lunch is served each day.
BSM also offers excellent sports facilities and a swimming pool. The sports building contains the PE classrooms, Judo room, gym and showers. Access to the sports courts and pitches is also through this entrance. The school has a football pitch and tennis, basketball and padel courts.
