ALOHA COLLEGE MARBELLA - Similar companies

Aloha College offers a British education for an international community: students are taught the English National Curriculum ... until the age of 16, when they take their IGCSE examinations with the Cambridge International Board. For the last 2, pre-university years, we offer the International Baccalaureate Programme (since 1990) and the A levels (since 2012). This opens doors for our students at prestigious universities in the UK, Spain, rest of Europe, and North America. All children learn Spanish Language and Culture and all of our students are at least bilingual. We have 46 nationalities in Aloha College, over half being made up of UK and Spanish. The School was founded in 1982 by six teachers, at the behest of local and expatriate families, who invested their own money in what was then and is to this day a not-for-profit-making project. Our Foundation status means that all surplus is reinvested in the school: there is no owner who takes away part of the profits. These are entirely dedicated to improving the facilities and resources for the children. The school has grown from the 210 pupils of then to 835 currently, and from one small building which housed everyone to the present nearly 30,000 m2 of buildings and sport/recreational areas. All buildings have underfloor heating, air conditioning and wi-fi. Each classroom is equipped with an interactive whiteboard and a battery of resources. Play and sports areas have undergone continual improvements over the last few years. As well as the surfaces on the sports pitches which are safe and comfortable for the little ones, we are also proud of the football pitch, certified by UEFA. Inaugurated in 2015-16 the new multi-purpose building which covers all our sporting and cultural needs was an ambitious project. The facility covers nearly 2,000 square metres with a multi-purpose sports area, a stage professional enough for any theatrical production, plus a gymnasium or multi-purpose hall. read more
