In addition to teaching students directly, we operate the British Council's only school, in Madrid, a sizeable exams operation, we offer support in English language learning around the country, and we run strong programmes in arts and education and society.

The majority of our teaching centre students are young learners - either Early Years, Primary or Secondary - with a sizeable number of Adults.

In Valencia we deliver classes classes to Young Learner students between 2 and 17 years old at the German School plus additional classes in offsite schools at lunchtime.

The content of courses varies widely according to students' ages and needs, but most classes tend to focus on non-specialised English.

We pride ourselves on the quality of the teaching we deliver in the classroom, and for that we depend on recruiting the best teachers available.

Our teachers are professional and supported by academic systems and continuous professional development.
