A TRILINGUAL school in a Costa del Sol town will be open to pupils by next September, part-funded by a loan from the European urban development pot, or FEDER.

The total cost of the centre in Estepona will be around €16 million, of which a refundable sum of €8.2m has been provided through the FEDER, and once the school is in operation from the beginning of the 2022 academic year, it will generate around 100 directly-linked jobs and 25 indirect new vacancies, according to the town council.
Pupils will typically be educated partly in Spanish but mostly in English, although the opportunity for them to be taught mostly or partly in French will be available.
Schools of this type often attract expat parents – permanent residents, but who realise their children might want to live, work or study in their family's country of origin as adults, or parents whose stay in Spain is only ever intended to be temporary, so their children can continue with the same schooling format as they did in their home nation.
