Illustration · Murcia
A private British school with Montessori pedagogy in Murcia, working, in its own words, since 2014. The school is hybrid and offers three forms that can be combined: daily lessons on campus (escuela de día), the NOMAD online programme with live 50-minute lessons for families on the move, athletes and children living between two countries, and the Erdkinder boarding house for teenagers from 13. It teaches on the British system from kindergarten to the upper years; qualifications are awarded by Pearson Edexcel: International GCSE, International A Level and vocational BTEC International at levels 2 and 3 in applied science, art and design, business, sport, esports and performing arts. The school itself states that it is an international centre authorised by Pearson Edexcel and that the Spanish education authorities do not officially recognise it; the British qualifications can then be validated by the Spanish ministry of education. Pupils can speed up or slow down at their own pace; in primary there are no exams and no homework. The school also hosts Pearson exams for outside candidates. For older pupils there is a work experience programme in Northern Ireland.

About the fees The school does not publish its fees; for boarding a personal quote is offered. There are no scholarships or financial aid, but the annual fee can be paid in instalments.
Admissions The school addresses families in Spain and abroad, including digital nomads, and explicitly invites pupils to the boarding house for short stays. The steps: an online form, then the school requests documents (DNI or passport, birth certificate, enrolment contract), the family returns them signed and makes the first payment, after which the school sends the stamped contract. For the upper years a video interview is held before enrolment and an individual plan is drawn up. Children with special needs are considered case by case. The kindergarten accepts only younger siblings of the school's pupils.

PearsonPearson Edexcel, a British exam board
It gives a school approved centre status: that means Pearson exams can be sat in the school itself. What is checked is the premises, the equipment, the secure storage of papers and the presence of trained invigilators.
What the badge means for this school. The school can run Pearson exams on its own premises. The status says nothing about teaching, about results or about the school itself: any school able to run an exam securely holds it. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. Which Pearson qualifications this school is approved for is not stated here.

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 7 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.
