Colegio Hispano Ingles is a private, secular school in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and its central idea is the double qualification: a pupil follows the British and the Spanish curriculum at the same time and gains both official certifications - the Spanish Bachillerato with the EBAU and the British IGCSE and A-Levels. Every pupil has two tutors, Spanish and British, working side by side. There are four languages, and the school certifies all four: Spanish, English, German and Mandarin Chinese, with teaching staff recruited from Spain, the British Isles, Germany and China. Public speaking is a project in its own right: from the age of four children go on stage at the Alfredo Kraus auditorium in four languages, and older pupils take part in national debating leagues and Model United Nations. The school has more than two hundred iMacs, all its pupils learn Python, and a nutrition department designs the school menu. For more than ten years it has held an agreement with the Philharmonic Society of Las Palmas: its families attend concerts at the Perez Galdos theatre. The school shows its results by name: top in Spain in Cambridge English and International Mathematics in 2013, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2024, top in the world in Cambridge English in 2014, and several of the best EBAU results in Spain.

About the fees The school states its fee on its home page, in the questions section: instead of paying for services separately it has a single all-inclusive monthly fee - from 664 euros, the highest, down to 384 euros, the lowest, depending on how many brothers and sisters attend the school. It covers all educational services, the dual Spanish and British curriculum, daily German and Chinese lessons, morning drop-off from 7:30, all meals (plus breakfasts and snacks in the baby school), accident and civil liability insurance, the psycho-pedagogical service with psychologists and speech therapists, school visits and outings with transport, and access to the school support fund, which lets a child continue at the school up to the bachillerato if the father or mother dies of illness or in an accident.
Admissions To enrol a child, the family fills in an online form, after which the school gets in touch, arranges a time and explains its project; families are invited to visit by booking through the site or by phone, Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 14:00. Places, the school says, are limited and are allocated in the order of the visits. The Beagle Baby House takes children from eight months, and places there are especially few, so the school advises booking early. The school names no entrance tests, documents or conditions for foreigners.
Stages and year groups The school runs two curricula at once, British and Spanish, and issues two qualifications on completion: the Spanish Bachillerato with the EBAU examination and the British IGCSE and A-Levels. From the age of four pupils perform on stage in four languages; in secondary school and the Bachillerato national debating leagues and Model United Nations are added.
Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
Exam results The school writes that all its pupils pass IGCSE with grades from A* to C in international mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, English, Spanish, German, history, geography, economics, enterprise and computer science; the exams are held at the school under the supervision of Cambridge International Education inspectors. The average mark of its leavers in the EBAU university entrance exam is, it says, the highest in the province of Las Palmas among private, state and state-funded schools. By name it lists the top in Spain in the EBAU in 2010, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2021 and 2025, the top in Spain in Cambridge international mathematics in 2018, 2019, 2023 and 2025 and in Cambridge English in 2013 and 2021, and the top result in the world in Cambridge English in 2014. The school does not publish a numerical average mark or pass rates by year.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
