Educational Programme

At CBS, The British School of Seville, we offer a 21st-century British education that is pupil-centred, flexible, and global in its outlook. A model that stimulates curiosity, fosters independence, and enables every student to attain their full potential.

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” – William Butler Yeats

A system that adapts to every pupil

The British system allows each pupil to develop their talents progressively, without early pigeonholing. Thanks to continuous assessment, the absence of standardised testing in the early years, and the opportunity to choose subjects in Secondary and Sixth Form, our pupils focus on what truly motivates them, resulting in greater engagement and superior academic results.

Students typically choose three or four subjects to study in depth over two years. There is no mandatory common curriculum, so subject selection depends on the student's interests and future university or career requirements. These subjects are taught at an advanced level, with content comparable to first-year university courses. Furthermore, they possess a strong practical character and a focus on real-world application.

International Recognition and University Opportunities

Thanks to the global validity of the British system, CBS pupils can access universities in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe, and other global destinations.

The education they receive —focused on skills such as critical thinking, independence, and communication— prepares them to excel in interviews, presentations, and high-level academic requirements.

Furthermore, from Secondary onwards, they receive personalised academic guidance to confidently choose their university or professional pathway.
