The British International School of Tenerife provides an authentic UK educational experience for students from 18 months to 18 years across its two campuses in La Luz and Los Realejos. Students follow the National Curriculum for England, working towards Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level examinations. The Secondary campus features specialized science laboratories, a dedicated computing suite, and designated spaces for art, drama, and languages. A defining feature of the school is its distinctive House system. In the primary years, Houses map to the Canary Islands' four national parks, while secondary students belong to Houses representing the four natural elements. Students earn points during inter-house competitions and weekly assemblies by demonstrating core values like kindness, honesty, and respect. Alongside strong English instruction, the curriculum heavily integrates the Spanish language, allowing students to celebrate British traditions such as St. George’s Day while meeting national requirements for Spain.
