WHY THE ARK

Where every child
is known

A British school in Las Lagunas de Mijas, next to Fuengirola and 30 minutes from Málaga. Our students receive a high-quality British education and enjoy the Mediterranean climate, outdoor activities and excursions on the Costa del Sol.

01

A second home

A welcoming second home where every student feels secure, respected and important, both as an individual and as part of the school community.

02

Ages 2 to 18

The British National Curriculum from Early Years to Sixth Form, leading to IGCSE and A Level. These open the way to university and work in the UK, Spain and worldwide.

03

Christian values

Respect, equality, compassion, thankfulness, justice and forgiveness shape school life, inside and outside the classroom. Our doors are open to all children.

04

Non-profit

As an institution with charitable status, the pupil is more important than profit. The school has to balance its books while maintaining, and constantly improving, the high level of education provided. However, its fees are the lowest for a school of its kind on the coast.

CURRICULUM

One journey, from 2 to 18

Each stage builds on the last, so your child grows up in one school, with one family.
