Oakley College is an independent Nursery, Primary and Secondary school, established in 1989, aiming to provide quality education through the medium of English, for an international community.  We cater for students from 2 years of age up to 18.

At Oakley College we believe that a caring and stimulating environment is essential to the development of children. We aim to develop self-esteem, personal responsibility and a commitment to learning in all. Oakley College is a happy school, dedicated to the promotion of a well-balanced curriculum and the highest quality of educational experiences.

Our philosophy is one of partnership between staff, parents and children in a friendly, family atmosphere, ensuring that each child will learn to the best of his or her ability. We encourage parents to work with us so that together we may promote the growth of respect for one another and care for the physical environment as well as attaining high academic standards.

All teaching is done in English and although no Spanish is required for the post, a willingness to learn the language is important for integration into the local community.
