Shackleton International School is a private British school in Burjassot, Valencia, for children aged 3 to 18. Teaching follows the National Curriculum of England and Wales, English is the language of instruction, and the school states that its students come from over 54 nationalities. It was founded by a team that has run early childhood education and language centres for more than 40 years, including SUPERFRIENDS International School.
In July 2025 Shackleton was authorised as an IB World School, and from September 2026 sixth-form students can take the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. In the 2026-27 academic year the school offers classes from Nursery to Year 12 and adds Year 13 next, completing the IB cycle:
- Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), ages 3-5
- Primary, ages 5-11
- Secondary, ages 11-16, with IGCSE exams in Year 11
- International Baccalaureate Diploma, ages 16-18
All applicants take a written test for their age and bring their last school report; primary pupils also spend a trial morning in class. Non-Spanish-speaking pupils from Year 3 may be placed in Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) classes. The school organises a House system, a summer school and a school bus service.
