Our School

An International and Comprehensive Education

A creative, values-based education allows our students to build a future for themselves founded on excellence.

Welcome

"Since its very beginning, Caxton College’s main objective has always been to create a welcoming, unique and exceptional educational experience. To ensure that our students feel that they are the focus of our educational process, we concentrate our efforts on identifying their needs, concerns and expectations in order to meet them satisfactorily. This level of expectation and commitment to our families has led us to set standards of excellence in all areas included in our educational environment. 


We are always striving to incorporate innovative educational methods into our classrooms that boost our students’ confidence and security, while promoting fundamental values such as respect, resilience and responsibility to guarantee them a promising future both as individuals and professionals.


We would invite you to become a part of this educational community, one that fosters the emotional well-being of our students and develops their critical thinking, solidarity and creativity so that they are able to enjoy a way of life that will shape them into the advocates of a more equitable society."

Welcome
Marta Gil, Principal of Caxton College

One Big Family

Caxton College is a private, mixed British school, located 15 minutes from Valencia along the centre of the Mediterranean coast, which offers a complete education to children and teenagers from 1 to 18 years of age. Founded in 1987 by the Gil-Marqués family, it offers Spanish and international students a school where they are brought up in an international environment, following the British curriculum. 

With its welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere, our core values are based on commitment, integrity, enthusiasm and respect, leading to an environment of friendliness and trust in all members of the educational community.

The school is categorised as an “Excellent school,” after being awarded the internationally recognised  “British School Overseas” certification, following an Ofsted Inspection.

A direct relationship with each student and their plans for the future is one of our main goals. Our students as a whole receive a solid academic grounding, while living in a friendly, bilingual environment, a fusion of British and Spanish cultures. Their studies, sports and hobbies are developed in a supportive and participative environment that fosters critical thinking and coexistence, as well as their innate talents and passions.
