British School of Valencia is a British educational institution situated in the centre of the city of Valencia which began in 1989. It is the result of the personal initiative and desire, on the part of the management, to further academic achievement, backed up by enormous experience in educational centres. On observing the evolution of educational needs today, they decided to offer a different model for learning, building the project around two basic pillars: those of respect and tolerance. The goal was to create an environment where a child's personal development would be a constant goal throughout their school life, allowing them to consolidate learning in a foreign language from a very early age and thus responding to the growing demands of today's society.

The choice of a British education, whose values are widely recognised, leads us to affirm today, after 15 years since our start, that the objectives which set out drawn are being fulfilled. The faith that a great number of families put in us by entrusting their children's education to the school, as well as the ever-increasing number of new pupils, is a confirmation of the success of this project.

Although the centre's educational model has always been one designed for pupils of 2 to 18 years of age, the school initially opened its doors only to children in the Foundation Stage, thus incorporating a new set of students with each passing year. This model of development takes time to build up but it has allowed us to ensure the correct application of the educational model we had designed. It is a source of great pride to be able to observe how the boys and girls who started their school lives with us, today, having finished their school life , are now young adults with a fine academic and personal preparation , who are facing their university studies with confidence and hope.

In 1994, the centre went through a major period of expansion. Whilst maintaining the original site as one of its main assets, a new two-storey building was erected incorporating a second playground area with sports facilities and equipment, as well as other areas designed to cater for all the needs of  Primary education.

In following years the number of pupils continued to increase. In 1996, the centre catered for more than 200 pupils and throughout this period, constant improvements and incorporations were made to the existing installations. In 1999, new buildings were added to house what is now where the levels of Secondary school is located , an area which is endowed with classes equipped with modern audio-visual resources, science laboratories, an Art room, a library, an IT room, Ethernet and multimedia connections in all the newly  incorporated classrooms ,which allows access to Intranet school system as an added educational resource available to teachers and pupils alike.

However, the growth and improvement of our installations has been continuous since the school began and proof of this was the opening in September 2004 of new facilities incorporated to enhance resources already existing for Primary school and parallely the enlargement of the play areas which now cover an area of over 2000m².

The incorporation of the levels of Higher Secondary Education (GCE - A levels), as well as the gradual and programmed increase of pupils in the school, concentrate the proceedings started in 2007 and which are expected to culminate in the school year 2009-10.

The British School of Valencia is now widely-known and recognised, largely thanks to positive news spread by the growing numbers of families who year after year allow us to aid them in the all-important task of providing their children with the finest  education possible.
