About us
Mission Statement & Core Values
To provide an outstanding, inquiry-based experience in a caring international environment. We strive to inspire all learners to reach their true potential and to be responsible citizens in a global society.
Aloha College Marbella is a well-established, not-for-profit educational foundation offering a British international education to students aged 3 to 18, from Early Years through to Sixth Form.
Founded in 1982, the school was one of the first in Spain to introduce the International Baccalaureate taught in English, and has since grown into one of the largest and most respected international schools in Spain, with over 900 students representing 57 nationalities.
We are proud to be a not-profit foundation governed by a board of parent trustees with all surplus income reinvested directly into the school to enhance facilities, teaching and learning.
Academic excellence lies at the heart of our ethos, as reflected in our outstanding IGCSE, A-Level and IB Diploma results. Yet the Aloha experience goes far beyond academic achievement. We are equally committed to providing exceptional pastoral care, a broad and balanced curriculum and a rich co-curricular programme that nurtures the whole child. At Aloha College Marbella, we prepare students not only for success in examinations but for life beyond school as principled, confident and compassionate individuals ready to make a positive impact in the world.
