At our bilingual school in Asturias, we believe education is one of the strongest foundations for the future. Our commitment to academic excellence, educational innovation and students’ all-round development has made Palacio de Granda a reference point for bilingual education in northern Spain.
We offer an international, stimulating and safe environment where each student can grow, learn and develop, both academically and personally.
Our educational philosophy is based on supporting students from Early Years through to Baccalaureate, ensuring continuity at every stage while respecting individual learning rhythms and encouraging autonomy, curiosity and confidence.
From the age of three, children are immersed in a bilingual environment where English and Spanish are part of everyday learning. Our highly qualified teachers, most of whom are native speakers or have extensive international experience, use active methodologies that support comprehension, spoken and written expression and critical thinking. In Primary School, students expand their learning in English and take part in interdisciplinary projects that strengthen collaboration, creativity and problem-solving.In Secondary School, this approach is consolidated through subjects taught entirely in English, as well as preparation for internationally recognised official certifications. In Baccalaureate, students reach an advanced level of language proficiency, enabling them to access universities in Spain and abroad with the confidence to communicate fluently in academic and professional contexts.
Over the years, Palacio de Granda has been recognised as one of the leading schools in Spain by several rankings, thanks to our innovative approach, excellent academic results and strong commitment to personalised education.Our educational project combines the strengths of pedagogical tradition with current methodologies, including cooperative learning, international projects, educational technology and continuous emotional support that contributes to student wellbeing.

Bilingual education offers many benefits that go far beyond mastering two languages. At Palacio de Granda, we see every day how bilingualism broadens horizons and strengthens students’ cognitive abilities.
Studying in a bilingual environment improves concentration, memory and mental flexibility. Students who learn in two languages develop stronger analytical skills and reading comprehension, which supports higher academic performance. Mastering English from an early age also becomes a valuable advantage in a global job market, opening access to international universities and professional opportunities around the world.
Bilingualism also encourages open-mindedness and empathy. At our school, students do not simply learn a language: they experience a culture. They take part in exchanges, international celebrations and joint projects with schools in other countries, helping them discover different ways of thinking and connecting with others.
This multicultural experience teaches them to respect diversity, adapt to different contexts and communicate with confidence in any setting.
Bilingual learning stimulates the brain and encourages creativity. Studies show that children who grow up learning in two languages develop stronger problem-solving skills and greater mental agility. At Palacio de Granda, we nurture these abilities through an active, participative approach based on curiosity.
Learning becomes a dynamic experience where students build their own knowledge through exploration and discovery
