In 1998, a modern boarding facility was built to accommodate weekly and full boarders. In 2007-8 Colegio Palacio de Granda was incorporated into the Laude chain of schools in Spain and UK. In 2014 the Laude schools became part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP).

The school is a Cambridge Examinations centre offering English Language examinations. Pupils also sit French and German language examinations. The curriculum is enhanced with the addition of the International Primary Curriculum and subjects such as french or german, computing, drama, public speaking and robotics. The pupils from 5ºPrimary use personal tablets/chromebooks and, other methodology, such as project based learning, is used across the school to inspire and motivate the students and support their learning.
