Secondary
Key Stage 3
Our Key Stage 3 curriculum is carefully designed to support both academic progression and personal development, fostering intellectual curiosity while nurturing emotional growth. At this pivotal stage in their educational journey, students are encouraged to see social interaction and self-awareness as essential components of their learning experience, alongside academic achievement.
Students engage with a broad and balanced curriculum that offers a strong foundation in languages, the arts, sciences, technology and core subjects. The curriculum is enriched through thematic links across subject areas, helping students to make meaningful connections, deepen their understanding, and apply their learning in a wider context.
Challenge, exploration and enjoyment
While Key Stage 3 lays the groundwork for future qualifications, it is also a time for challenge, exploration and enjoyment. Our students build lasting memories as they grow in confidence and independence. When combined with our dynamic co-curricular programme and a wealth of enrichment opportunities, Key Stage 3 becomes a truly inspiring phase, full of possibility and promise.
Key Stage 4
At Key Stage 4, we offer a well-balanced and thoughtfully structured curriculum that provides both breadth and depth, along with an element of choice to suit students’ individual interests and aspirations. While students are encouraged to build strong subject knowledge, we also place great emphasis on developing the broader skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. Through a focus on critical thinking, emotional intelligence and enrichment, we aim to nurture confident, internationally minded, lifelong learners.
Students at Aloha College Marbella follow the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), a globally recognised qualification for students aged 14–16.

Most students at Aloha College Marbella take between 8 and 10 subjects at IGCSE. These examinations represent a significant milestone in their academic journey. Our aim is to ensure that each student achieves the best possible outcomes, enabling them to progress smoothly and confidently to the next stage of their education or training.
