Hi, Our children attend the schools in Rojales - one is at the institute (high school) and one at the junior school. My youngest has been at the junior school since she was 4 when we moved to Spain and I have always been very happy with the standards there. You have to sometimes accept that things are done differently here. My son is due to leave this year to go to the Institute. I think if you go along to the school (they only speak Spanish so you will need a translator if you dont!) - they will advise you what you need to register.

We put our lad into this school when we first came to Spain he was 13 and did not speak a word of Spanish. His first lesson was History and it was all in Spanish not a word of English was spoken, after 6 months he was fluent and is now a professional translator back in the U.K

He went thought some very frustrating times but it made a man of him and has help him no end for the future.

There are also plenty of opportunities for the children to do sports eg football, gymnastics, tennis outside of school at the polideportivos (sports centres) in Benijofar and Rojales. Both have great football teams for the boys and I believe girls!

My children go to the junior school in Benijofar and we are more than happy with it. The only downside we have is that there is no lunch facility there so the children have to come home whereas from what I hear if they go to Rojales they can stay for lunch.

Hello Sarah, My name is Anita and I work at the Berlingua International School in Ciudad Quesada. We are located about 5 mins from Benijofar. Our language school teaches people of all ages to learn spanish. We have an excellent track record for preparing children for their academic classes.
