How would you rate The British College of Gav脿 (BCG)?
I came to this school 6 years ago. At the time I did not speak any Spanish and my English was questionable to say the least. I can safely say that I am very grateful to BCG for making me the person I am today. For these 6 years, that now seems have flown by way too quickly, BCG became my second home. What I love about BCG the most is its individualistic approach to each student, as cliched as it might sound, the whole school indeed feels like one big family and I already beginning to miss my time here after only 1 month after graduation.
We were sure about wanting to change our life style and live close to the beach. But we were very unsure about changing the school of our 2 girls (6&3 years old). All was uncertain and not all the reviews we had read about BCG made us feel really comfortable. But we decided to take the risk and we can say that we don鈥檛 regret it! It is a pleasure to bring/pick up the girls and feel always so warmly welcome by all the staff! The teachers are so professional and truly caring! The children are learning a lot in an integrating environment full of fun and creative activities. The community of families is very friendly and we feel the school truly cares about our opinions! Our girls are very happy! So we are!
As a mother who has been part of the school since the beginning, I can say that it's great to be in an open-minded school that listens to the children and families needs in such a wonderful landscape. I'm glad to be part of a foward-thinking school.
The school is TOP in facilities, organisation, teachers, staff, academics and overall making students happy. The values are very strong and they focus in making our children good citizens of the world, with respect to others, nature and community. In my humble opinion I would like them to improve the sports in general for young children's of primary so they can develop stronger in a sport that they like. Summer camp is amazing experience and this is my son's third year and I will continue to take him there for years to come. Thank you to all the staff in the school and the Principle for making this happening.
2 kids there, they are super happy to go to school everyday. Fantastic team of teachers, nice facilities with huge green playground.
Our children started attending BCG this year and we are very happy with our choice so far. Since the first visit, the school facilities have attracted our attention, with lots of green and open space. Now with the opening of their new building, the facilities are even more complete. Despite the large facilities it feels like a small school, where everyone knows each other by name, which contributed to my children quickly feeling welcomed and integrated. The dedication of the teachers with whom we had contact so far is also something we would like to highlight.
Muy contento de la elecci贸n que hicimos en su d铆a para la educaci贸n de nuestros hijos (hoy, 12 y 14 a帽os). Estamos en el British College of Gav脿 desde su fundaci贸n y a d铆a de hoy puedo decir que el colegio ha cubierto mis expectativas con nota: muy buen ambiente, excelentes instalaciones en un entorno espectacular, buenos profesores (algunos brillantes) y como consecuencia, buen nivel educativo. Y para mi, lo m谩s importante: mis hijos van felices al colegio y est谩n motivados. A d铆a de hoy adem谩s contamos con el liderazgo de un Director contrastado que tiene las cosas claras y el colegio sigue mejorando cada d铆a su equipo e instalaciones, siempre atento a las sugerencias de los padres. Felicidades Sr. Valverde.! Cumpli贸 su promesa ...
School with modern and top facilities. What i like the most in the school is the nice atmosphere for the students and the close relation between school and parents. Inclusive school where each single student is considered as an individual and not as a number. Good balance between academic curriculum and values teaching. The teachers team is very professional and always ready to help.
BCG deserves an overall 5 stars in terms of general efficiency and its commitment for the betterment of the school as well as the educational, moral and artistic level of the students. It is a small school yet it has a future towards to be one of the best schools.
We live an expat life and when we decided to look for a school for our children, we considered the academic, sports, the space where the children would have there classes, the outside area to play, extra activities and the community of the school versus the students and the parents. We have four children enrolled from reception, primary and secondary and I love to see how the children learn with motivation, the fact that everyone knows each other, the teachers know the students by name even if they don't teach them. I am very pleased with the new principle. The schools premises have increased and offers everything the children need to persue there academic needs. The green, nature, where the school is surrounded is beautiful and gives them a sense of nature and freedom. I am very grateful that the school has a motivated staff/ teachers that have been able to give the students an excellent education standard during this covid crisis and the response from the school to this pandemic was quick, efficient and effective.

Pues a mi me parece un colegio fant谩stico, he visto personalmente las instalaciones, no se trata de un colegio al uso en el que toda la parcela est谩 edificada, sino un colegio con zonas abiertas y deportivas, est谩n edificando una nueva 谩rea y me parece un colegio espectacular.
