SECONDARY SCHOOL

Dear families,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Laude San Pedro International College. Located in San Pedro de Alcántara, it is an outstanding example of a comprehensive international education. As one of the most established International schools on the Costa del Sol, we offer a wide variety of curriculum options that enable our students to progress on to the very best universities and professions. We are particularly proud of the wide range of I/GCSE and A Level courses that we provide.

Laude is a fully inclusive school and offers an excellent education to students aged 3-18. In Years 7, 8 and 9 we follow the British National Curriculum. In Years 10 and 11 the school offers a number of International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) courses and in Years 12 and 13 the A Level curriculum. Following an education at Laude International School, our students have been accepted into some of the top universities in the world, including Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell Group institutions.

We have an exciting and well-established provision in extra-curricular activities. This is particularly evident in sport and performing arts and in the vast range of educational visits and residential stays that contribute to our academic year. As we prepare students for the global opportunities available to them, our programme of educational visits abroad, provides students with a greater understanding of different cultures and traditions – key to our success in maximising student potential.

Laude puts high quality teaching and learning as a top priority. The professional development of our well resourced staff is key to this and as a result, they are highly experienced, well qualified and skilled in providing your child with the best possible education. Partnerships are crucial in achieving the best learning and support for students. We are very proud of the outstanding parental engagement we have throughout a student’s time at school and seek to harness and celebrate that at every opportunity.

I look forward to meeting you and your child, and know that your journey with us over the coming years will be happy, successful and fulfilling.

Warm regards.
