Education in Tenerife

Some people agonise over whether to make the move to Tenerife because they have kids of school age.  It is true that such a big move, away from friends and the familiarity of the home they grew up in, can be a major wrench.  However, once in Tenerife, there is a range of educational options available, which will start with a choice between the Spanish and British educational systems.  Tenerife Lifeline helps to with up this crucial decision and looks at the difference between the two systems, discussing the curricula and fees. 

You can also find out how to register your child into public education, and information on Spanish private schools as well as translating qualifications and the system of convalidación.  Tenerife Lifeline also provides information on university entrance in both Spain and the UK.
