It follows the British National Curriculum, adapted for an international student body, and takes children from 4 months old through to Sixth Form (ages 16-18), from Early Years to A levels. The school has been inspected by the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS), most recently in December 2025. Secondary studies based on IGCSEs can be homologated to the Spanish ESO through the Generalitat de Catalunya.

Forest School and outdoor learning are part of the timetable, and secondary students do work placements in Years 10 and 12. Extracurricular options include robotics and coding, music and football academies, and the school offers morning and after-school clubs from 7:30 to 18:00.
