It’s hard to find the perfect school for your children, one that promises good educational performance but also allows your kids to grow creatively in the direction they want. Many parents find themselves having to compromise between science, sports and special needs support, but there’s one school in Murcia that has a perfectly balanced combination of everything a parent could want.

Based in La Torre Golf Resort Murcia, King’s College is a British School that teaches the English National Curriculum while ensuring that pupils grow up bilingual in English and Spanish. Open to pupils from 18 months to 18 years (Pre-Nursery – Year 13), all the children are encouraged to learn from first-hand experience, not just textbooks, to create open-minded, creative and dynamic individuals.

British curriculum and extracurricular activities

The British System offered by King’s College prepares students from their very first day of pre-school right up to their university applications. Secondary pupils are led through IGCSEs to the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, which will help them get accepted into universities in the UK and around the world.

But school life isn’t all about studying… King's College has many after-school activities which all pupils are encouraged to participate in, from football, netball, basketball and tennis to arts and crafts, film club, ICT and mindfulness. Then there’s the Duke of Edinburgh Award, which King’s College supports, and summer schools during July and August.
