In Spain we call bilingual those schools that follow the Spanish system but which have a high percentage of the teaching load in English. However, most of them only offer between 6 and 10 hours of English lessons per week. In this sense, Yago School is considered a truly bilingual school since its pupils receive 70% of the load in English compared to 30% of Spanish, and English is the official communication language between employees and between teachers and pupils.

We should not confuse a bilingual school with a British one. The latter are those that follow the National British Curriculum, where the contents demanded by U.K. are studied, and the exams and certificates obtained are the official English ones.

Yago School is a bilingual institution, meaning that starting at the age of 3 years old 70% of the curriculum is taught entirely in English. Spanish is the second official language of the school and Chinese is a third official language. The school follows both the IB curriculum and the Spanish national curriculum.

As students progress through the different educational stages, the number of subjects taught in English increases gradually. By the time they reach the Baccalaureate stage, students have the option to study entirely in English, entirely in Spanish or both. This ensures that our students are well-prepared to access universities in Spain and all over the world.

Yago School is strongly committed to bilingualism and our goal is that when pupils finish their second year of Baccalaureate speaking English fluently (level C1-C2) and Chinese to B1-B2 level.

• In the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades and in Primary, 70% of classes are taught in English.
