The Valencia campus is conveniently located in L’Eliana, a distance from the Torre del Virrei metro station.
Iale International School Valencia is part of the Iale-Eliana group, which includes British School La Nucia in Alicante and British School Castellon in Castellon. These English-Spanish bilingual schools follow the Spanish national curriculum, offering Spanish and Valencian, French, German, and Mandarin as foreign languages. English immersion starts in nursery at around 70% and gradually decreases to 33% in secondary school. The Valencia campus specializes in music, offering recognized qualifications, and houses a post-secondary technical school specializing in sports. Additionally, the school organizes a summer camp in Dublin.
