Lady Elizabeth School (LES) is a British international school for students aged 2 to 18 in Cumbre del Sol, Benitachell (Alicante province), within the Granadella Natural Park; many families live in nearby Jávea, Moraira or Dénia. It is part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP) and has students of more than 60 nationalities.

Students follow a British pathway from age 2 to 18, enriched with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and Spanish, in a bilingual environment with English and Spanish at the core:

• Early Years (ages 2 to 6): Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
• Primary School (ages 6 to 11): IPC and British National Curriculum
• Secondary School (ages 11 to 16): GCSEs through the British and Spanish curricula, with additional language options
• Sixth Form (ages 16 to 18): A Level courses and university guidance

The school lists more than 50 extracurricular activities. Students aged 13 and over can board at the school's residence in Calpe, with 24-hour care, counselling, supervised study and weekend activities. Admission starts with a visit or virtual call, followed by previous school reports, placement tests if needed and possibly a taster day; multilingual support is available for international families.
