International School Curriculum in Spain
The majority of international schools in Spain can be found in large urban centres such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Seville. There are fewer international teaching jobs to be found in smaller towns and rural areas, but these are beginning to emerge. While some international schools offer full K-12 provision, others specialise in early years, primary or secondary education. Primary teaching jobs in Spain are common. Most international schools in Spain are accredited and deliver an internationally recognised curriculum such as the International Baccalaureate, US Common Core, or the National Curriculum for England. Teachers of most grades and subjects should be able to find teaching jobs in Spain international schools.

Teacher Salaries at International Schools in Spain
Teaching at an international school in Spain can be a rewarding experience, but prospective educators should be aware of the current state of teaching salaries in the country. According to recent reports, salaries for teachers at international schools in the country can vary greatly depending on factors such as experience, qualifications, and the particular institution.
Some international schools in Spain offer competitive salaries, such as the International School of Madrid which reportedly pays experienced teachers up to €70,000 per year. However, other institutions may offer lower salaries that are more in line with the Spanish public school system, which according to a recent report ranks 27th in the world in terms of teacher salaries.
One factor that can impact teacher salaries at international schools in Spain is the language of instruction. For example, schools that offer instruction primarily in English may be more likely to attract teachers with English-language qualifications, which can result in higher salaries. Additionally, schools that are affiliated with international organizations such as the International Baccalaureate may offer higher salaries to teachers with relevant certifications.
Despite some variability in teaching salaries at international schools in Spain, many educators continue to find the experience rewarding. As one teacher interviewed by The Local Spain noted, “The lifestyle in Spain is amazing and the international community is tight-knit and supportive.”

Good afternoon,
I hope you are safe and well.
My name is Kevin Gonzalez. I am primary school teacher in Nottingham (UK).
I took my Elementary Teacher Degree at Alicante University (Spain). I finished my degree three years ago and, since then, I have done different courses related to Education. Last course I completed was teaching Spanish as foreign language.
Besides, I have lived in Nottingham for 2 years. During my first year I was working as a Flight Attendant and Amazon. I chose those jobs in order to improve my English skills. At the same time, I had applied to QTS and Teacher reference number.
Since January my only job is being a Primary school teacher in Nottingham. I am really happy with my current role.
However, my couple and I are thinking about coming back to Spain.
From my point of view, I would be the right person for this position. My English is really good due to I am teaching every day British CV subjects using English as a main language. I have passion for what I am doing and I am enthusiastic about starting a new teacher position in my country.
If you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
