Swans International School has been offering an outstanding education for nearly 50 years. From the very first day we opened our doors, we have provided a warm, safe and vibrant environment in which all children can thrive.

Across the two sites, Swans now educates children of more than thirty nationalities, and many of our teachers have been with us for more than a decade, while some have been at the school for over thirty years. Over the years, our school has continued to flourish, with continual improvements to the facilities and also to our academic results, where we now regularly compete with the best students internationally and send our graduates to some of the world's best universities.

An inherent feature of our school is the social and emotional care, that gives the sense of a family environment for both students and teachers. Such support inspires young people to be the best that they can be, despite their age or ability, and it is this educational structure which ensures that, when a student leaves Swans, they are fully prepared for life beyond education. 

Our learning spaces are bright, spacious and all classrooms are installed with the latest technology; including state of the art touch screen whiteboards, Apple TV and iPads. We embrace technology and accept the significant role it will have in our children's future. 

We are very proud of our school and all of the children, parents, and staff members who make it such a special community. Whether you are considering the educational needs of your child for Early Years or onwards through to GCSE and Sixth Form, we understand that it is one of the most important decisions that you will make. We warmly invite you to visit us and experience the magical atmosphere for yourself!

"Nihil sin Labore" – the school motto – underpins their expectations for every child entering Swans International School.

Lisa: "Friendly positive school and cheerful ambiance"

Lara is in her last year at primary school. We have had seven happy years at Swans primary School. She is incredibly excited about going up to Sierra Blanca. Mimi is so happy and is doing phenomenally this year, in Year 3...

...Every year I have an excellent rapport with all teachers at the school and there is not a teacher who I could fault.

I just heard Miss Catherine on Central FM on the Tony Keys show. She sounded really professional and proud of the school. I would like to congratulate you all on creating such a friendly positive school and cheerful ambiance at Swans International School.

I am really happy with all aspects of Spanish and English curriculum and I am pleased French has been reinstated on girl's timetable. I had fantastic feedback from both teachers at parents meeting. This year Lara and Mimi have come on leaps and bounds with Miss Marie and Miss Natalie. Fabulous teachers!

The girls are enjoying swimming in the beautiful Ozone heated pool. Miss Anne and Mr. Chamberlain make the lessons so fun but at the same time their stroke technique and stamina has improved immensely.

I am so pleased with all aspects of their education at Swans. Don Jose has been excellent and so helpful to the girls. They are both doing so much better in Spanish and are enjoying their lessons so much.

Their English reading has come on leaps and bounds. Mr. Greg and Miss Michelle have been so encouraging and motivating.

The booster Maths lessons have helped Lara so much. Miss Vivien has also been a great support to Lara. Her grades were excellent this term.

The extra activities have been great this term. The cheerleading club is great. The kids love it. I am also pleased to see that kick boxing shall be on the after school club list. I shall be enrolling Lara and Mimi. I have been at Kudo for a year and half. It is fabulous.

Keep up the excellent work. I cannot thank all the staff enough.

Anonymous: "Highly recommended!"

I just switched my daughter from another school to Swans one month ago, also because I found that the level of teaching wasn't up to my standard. When I had a look at Swans and saw what they offered...

... there for the same money I felt cheated by old school, which should be costing half if you compare the installations, there is just no comparison.

There were lots of thefts in the old school, mobiles, mp3 etc. Kids smoking in the breaks, teachers looking the other way.

I can only tell you that I am over the moon with Swans, they seem to be much more professional, they have more home work and they need to study more then in the old school, but that's ok, they are in school after all to study and learn, right? Over all I wish that I send her to Swan's sooner, can only recommend this school!
