International and multilingual education
At Yago School Málaga, we understand education as a holistic and continuous process that supports each student from their earliest years through to university entrance. We believe that every stage of learning is unique and must be fully embraced to foster students’ academic, personal, and emotional development.
In PYP Early Years, we offer an educational project aimed at helping children develop their abilities at an early stage in a creative, stimulating, and safe environment. Through innovative methodologies and an international education, we lay the foundations for natural language acquisition and for the development of curiosity, independence, and creativity.
In PYP Primary, we have designed an International Educational Project with the goal of providing students with a comprehensive and distinctive education. To achieve this, we offer a wide range of educational, cultural, sporting, artistic, humanitarian, environmental, and recreational programmes and activities, enriching their school experience and reinforcing learning within a multilingual and global framework.
MYP Secondary education addresses a key stage in students’ lives: adolescence. Here we strengthen education in values, working across four fundamental dimensions – civic, ethical, environmental, and social responsibility – while offering a truly international education that prepares young people to understand the world from an open, critical, and responsible perspective.
In DP Baccalaureate, we provide a complete education with both university and career guidance. Our academic and personal approach opens the doors to the future, preparing students to successfully face academic and professional challenges in a global and international environment. This gives them a significant competitive advantage, both in accessing the best universities and in their personal and professional development.
At Yago School Málaga, we have an exclusive residence for our secondary and sixth form students. It is a safe and welcoming environment that facilitates students’ school and personal lives. This helps to reinforce our international character and provide a well-rounded educational experience.
