International Schools in Spain and Bilingual Education.
Most international schools in Spain follow the English national curriculum
which initially meant that their purpose were to train and prepare students to continue their education in the UK or USA after completing their secondary education in Spain, however NABSS which is the body responsible for coordinating these schools later in conjunction with the Spanish ministry of education and science decided to incorporate the Spanish curriculum into their program to give the students wider choice for after secondary further education and also to make the students understand the Spanish educational, social and cultural life. This program introduced Spanish subjects like conocimientos, lengua and sociales. Conocimientos deals with all the sciences, Geography and history , it is thought from primary to early secondary level and give the students strong foundation so they can easily relate terms and principles between the national curriculum and Spanish curriculum, This later is broken into Sociales and ciencias as the students advance to higher secondary class usually from year 9, some students leaving the international school setting to do the Spanish equivalent of A Levels which is called bachilleratos do very well because of the foundation from studying conocimientos, ciencias and sociales alongside their national curriculum subjects, conociemiento, ciencias and sociales deals with subjects from basic science and history to IGCSE physics, chemistry, biology, geography and history equivalent levels. Lengua deals with the Spanish language and literature, it is just like conocimientos taught across primary and secondary up to IGCSE and the students normally take the IGCSE Spanish Language examinations at the end of secondary education, this strengthen their use of their first language and help them adjust easily when they go ahead to study in a Spanish university after doing their A Levels in English, their strong understanding of the Spanish language and application give them more options when making choices for further studies in the university they can chose between university where English is medium of instructions and that where Spanish is medium of instruction. The third subject which is taught across primary and secondary schools in the international schools is Sociales which like I said earlier is part of conocimientos until higher secondary when it is separated as a single subject from science, this subject deals with all social studies related subjects including history,economics,commerce,citizenship. Apart from this Spanish subjects so many international languages were also drafted into the education programs, languages like German, French, and Chinese are taught alongside English and Spanish. This approach has boosted the image of international schools in Spain and has created the bilingual culture and provides greater advantages to students after school both in furthering their education and in entering the Job places.
