Our International Curriculum
At El Altillo International School, we provide a complete international educational pathway from the age of 1 year through to university entrance, ensuring that every student benefits from a holistic, innovative and globally minded learning experience.
Early Years and Primary (IEYC & IPC)
From 1 to 12 years old, our students follow the programmes of the International Curriculum Association (ICA): the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) in Early Years and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) in Primary. Both frameworks promote project-based learning, meaningful experiences and the development of social, emotional and cognitive skills, within a bilingual and multicultural environment.
Secondary (IB-MYP)
From 12 to 16 years old, students continue with the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP), which provides a holistic approach to learning. It connects subjects to the real world, strengthens critical thinking and creativity, and encourages the development of international mindedness.
Baccalaureate (IB-DP)
From 16 to 18 years old, our students prepare for their academic and professional future through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB-DP). This two-year programme combines six subject groups with three core components —the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge (ToK) and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS)— which develop research, reflection, autonomy and social commitment.
This internationally recognised curriculum ensures that our students grow as global citizens, ready to succeed in any academic, professional and cultural context, with confidence, competence and a clear vision for the future.
