Agora Lledó International School

What Agora Lledó International School does

Agora Lledó International School is a private international school located in Castellón de la Plana, Spain, operating from a campus spanning over 6,500 m² of built space and a 6,700 m² sports centre. Founded in 2001 and integrated into the Globeducate group since 2006, the school serves students from early childhood (age 1) through Bachillerato (age 18) and is the only institution in the province of Castellón authorised to deliver the full International Baccalaureate Continuum — Primary Years Programme (since 2022), Middle Years Programme (since 2024), and Diploma Programme (since 2011). The school's student body draws from more than 60 nationalities, with international students representing approximately 20% of enrollment.

The core academic product is structured around five pillars: the IB Continuum, multilingual education (Spanish, English, French, German, Chinese, Valencian), a STEAM curriculum anchored by LEGO Education robotics and coding from Infant level onwards, an authorised music conservatory programme, and a comprehensive sports offering with three federated clubs. The underlying technology stack includes the Kognity digital learning platform for IB Diploma students, the proprietary GAVEA project (combining 395 tablets, digital whiteboards, and curated content), a fixed computer lab, two mobile laptop labs, and 3D printing capabilities. Bilingual instruction (50% English) is delivered from Infant education onwards.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition fees tiered by educational stage, supplemented by ancillary services — school transport routes from five surrounding municipalities, canteen meals, extended hours (7:30-19:00), federated sports clubs, a broad extracurricular catalogue, holiday and summer camps (Easter camp €150-€230, Christmas camp €245 all-inclusive), an on-site uniform and book shop, and an emerging boarding programme via partnership with Agora Andorra International School. The go-to-market model is consultative and family-centric: prospective families initiate contact via web form or phone, then proceed through personalised virtual or in-person campus tours led by the direction team. Academic outcomes — including a 100% Selectividad pass rate, 85-90% first-choice university placement, and an average IB Diploma score of 33.5/45 (2024) — anchor premium positioning, with the school ranked 2nd in the Valencia Community on PAU 2026 results and recognised as the best school in Spain and 5th in Europe for IB results.
