If you are a property buyer in Javea and wish to enroll your child into a local or international school you will have ample to choose from. 

In order to enroll your child in the Spanish school you will need to go to the local Education Office at the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) with the following documentation:

  • Certificado de Empadronamiento. This is an official document which proves your address locally. You will need to go to the Ayuntamiento with your passports and title deeds to your property or a rental contract), and copy of your childs' passport.
  • A copy of your child´s passport.
  • Your child´s N.I.E. You must apply for this at your nearest Oficina de Extrangeria.
  • A medical certificate for your child showing their vaccinations are up to date, and that their eye sight and hearing has been checked.

Enrolment usually starts in April. Your child will be allocated a school depending on your proximity to the school, number of children you´re enrolling and your choice of first language (Valenciano or Castellano) Spaces in the Castellano line are limited and not available in all schools, so it´s a good idea to get your child enrolled as soon as possible. It´s possible to enroll your child late, but if you are planning to do so over the summer, it´s advisable to call first as many offices close over the month of August.

The school hours for Infantil and primary are between 9 and 4.30. Lunch is between 12.30 and 3.00. You can opt for your children to stay over the lunch period or you can pick them up. If you would like them to stay for lunch the fees are around 85€ a month. You can apply for a discount depending on your economic situation and the school will be able to inform you on the documentation you will need to present, deadlines, etc.

INFANTIL:

Children start school in Spain as early as 2 and a half (they can start the year they are due to turn 3) This may seem a little early and it is not obligatory until they turn 6 and start primary (some parents of children who are born later in the year opt to start their schooling in the second year of infantil). It is advisable, however, as it´s aimed at developing their social and language skills, as well as basic reading, writing, drawing, personal hygiene etc. Foreign children who attend infantile will achieve a very good level of Castellano and Valenciano in the first few months.
