University access

University

Our students leave to attend both Spanish and non-Spanish universities, either through success in their Bachillerato course and the Spanish university entrance exams, called Selectividad (PAU).

Guidance Department

For the final five years of schooling, all students are involved in the Vocational and Professional Guidance Programme, whose aim is to enable students to be able to make the important decisions for their personal and professional future. Our educational provision offers a wide range of opportunities, from which, with the support of their parents, students can benefit.
