Admissions

You can request information and apply for a place at any time of the year, for either the current or the next school year. We recommend doing so well in advance.

Yes, and we recommend it. The visit takes place together with the interview with the head of the relevant stage: you will see our facilities, learn about our educational project and meet the people who will support your child. If you have several children joining the School, we arrange a single joint visit; the Nursery School has its own visit.

No. It is a meeting to get to know each other: we listen to what your family is looking for and explain how we work. You do not need to bring any documents or take any tests. It can be held in person or online.

What matters most is that San Cristóbal’s project fits what your family is looking for. That is why we value the interview with the family, your interest in an international education that cares for both learning and emotional wellbeing, and that your child can grow with our way of working.

For Secondary Education (ESO) and the Baccalaureate, we also take into account the student’s academic record and have a personal conversation with them.

Yes. The whole process can be done remotely: requesting information, the interview by video call, sending documents and confirming the place. It is a good option for families who live outside Castellón or find it difficult to travel.

Yes. We support families who settle in Castellón for professional or personal reasons. We advise them on the Spanish education system, the recognition or validation of previous studies and how the student will join their new class, so that settling in is as smooth as possible.

From the age of 1, at our Nursery School, which has classes for 1 and 2 year olds. At 3, children move on to Early Years at the School, within the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, and they can continue with us through to the Baccalaureate and Vocational Training.

It means we teach the programmes of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB): the PYP in Early Years and Primary, the MYP in Secondary and the Diploma Programme in the Baccalaureate. These programmes are recognised worldwide and teach students to think critically, to inquire and to learn how to learn.

We combine the International Baccalaureate framework with active methodologies: project-based learning, cooperative learning, neurodidactics and emotional education, supported by technologies for learning. Students inquire, connect what they learn with real situations and develop critical thinking, creativity and autonomy.

With more than fifty years of history, San Cristóbal brings together the experience of a well-established school and educational innovation.

It means every student feels known and supported. Form teachers and the head of each stage closely follow each student’s academic and personal progress, and emotional education is part of everyday life from Early Years.

Our relationship with families is close: the leadership team and tutors are available to talk whenever needed, because we believe that trust between home and school is the foundation for children to grow up confident and happy.

Every student learns in their own way and at their own pace. The Counselling Department, together with tutors and teachers, identifies each student’s needs and adapts the response: extra support when needed, enrichment for those who need more challenge and close attention to emotional and social development.

Two pathways: the IB Diploma Programme, recognised internationally, and the Spanish Baccalaureate. Our guidance team helps each student choose the one that best matches their goals and abilities.

Extended hours from Monday to Friday, 7:30 to 19:00, canteen and school transport, extracurricular activities, a music school and a summer school.

Yes. The full uniform is worn from the first year of Early Years (age 3) up to the fourth year of Secondary (ESO), and it can be bought from our online uniform shop.

Families from Castellón and the surrounding province who want a high-quality education, with academic rigour, languages and an international outlook, without giving up a close, personal relationship. They especially value being listened to and knowing that their children are in the hands of people who know them by name.
