The Spanish School of Abu Dhabi

A small Spanish curriculum school in Al Bateen, primarily serving Spanish-speaking expatriate families and Emirati families who want their children fluent in Spanish alongside English and Arabic.

The school follows the Spanish Ministry of Education curriculum, which makes it one of the few options in Abu Dhabi for families on the diplomatic or corporate Iberian and Latin American circuit who want a clean transfer back to Madrid, Barcelona, or Mexico City.

The community is small and tight-knit, with parents describing a calm, family atmosphere and accessible teachers. Facilities and extra-curricular breadth are modest compared with the larger international schools on the island. The right fit for parents prioritising Spanish-language continuity and a small-school feel over scale.
