Students at Newton College follow a curriculum that integrates the Spanish National Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate’s Middle Years Programme (MYP), offering a balanced approach to education that supports both national and international academic standards.
In the first two years of Secondary, students build a solid academic foundation while developing essential skills for their future learning. A broad curriculum encourages curiosity and lays the groundwork for more focused study in later years. Students progress through these formative years supported by specialist teachers who create dynamic and encouraging learning environments.
In these years, students continue to broaden their knowledge and understanding, preparing for future challenges, while focusing on refining skills and applying knowledge in real-world contexts. This stage encourages deeper academic engagement while fostering personal development. Students start to prepare for their MYP assessments. In Y11, students also have the opportinity to select their options which goes towards earning their compulsary Secondary education certificate and the MYP certificate.
At the end of Year 11, students complete MYP e-assessments, which evaluate their progress and academic skills across all subjects. These assessments focus on fostering critical thinking, independent learning and global awareness, providing a comprehensive view of their abilities.
At Newton College, students lead their own learning journey through personalised academic support, taking on leadership roles such as those in the ISP Changemakers programme, engaging in global initiatives like the ISP Cultural Exchange and receiving tailored career guidance including advice on university applications and professional pathways.

Students benefit from a programme designed to help them excel academically while developing essential skills for future success. The Newton Excellence Programme supports high-achieving students in their final year of Compulsory Secondary Education, preparing them for the Baccalaureate with a focus on both academic rigour and personal growth.
In addition to this, students are evaluated through both the Spanish programme (LOMLOE) and the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP). In Year 4 of ESO, they complete an online e-assessment in core subjects, including Language & Literature, History, Mathematics, Biology/Physics and Interdisciplinary Learning. They also choose an elective portfolio, selecting from Art, Physical Education or Design Technology, enabling them to explore their interests and develop individual talents.
Initiatives such as science fairs, robotics competitions, Model United Nations (MUN) and the PechaKucha presentation competition (organised by the Spanish Department) encourage innovation, collaboration and creative problem-solving, while nurturing confidence and communication skills.
To apply for the Newton Excellence Programme, applicants must complete the required form and submit all necessary documentation. More information here.
Service as Action in the MYP encourages students to engage with their communities, benefiting both themselves and those they serve. By linking classroom learning with real-world experiences, students develop empathy, learn to collaborate effectively and contribute to meaningful change.
As part of their MYP journey, students complete Service as Action projects, which may involve volunteering at animal shelters, supporting environmental initiatives such as beach clean-ups or collaborating with non-profit organisations. These initiatives help students to build critical skills such as teamwork, communication and problem-solving, while also fostering a strong sense of responsibility and social awareness.
The school collaborates with local and international NGOs, including Save the Children, UNICEF and Cáritas, to support these initiatives and promote meaningful learning and personal development.
In the Secondary stage at Newton College, students receive bilingual education in English and Spanish, while German and French are compulsory from 6th grade (for most students). Valencian is a core subject, with additional language options available as extracurricular activities.
Secondary students have access to a wide range of international opportunities, many through ISP (International Schools Partnership), which allow them to connect, collaborate and grow alongside peers from different countries.
Some of the current active programmes include:
ISP Changemakers – Students take part in a leadership and community action programme that empowers them to make a positive difference both locally and globally.
ISP Artist – Students showcase their artistic talents through international exhibitions and collaborations.
ISP Cultural Exchange Programme – Students experience another culture and school environment through short-term exchanges between ISP schools.
ISP TEDx – Students develop public speaking and presentation skills by sharing inspiring ideas at official TEDx events.
ISP Chessmasters – Students compete in a global online chess tournament that promotes strategic thinking and international competition.
ISP Filmmakers – Students express themselves creatively through film, collaborating with peers from other countries to produce short films.
Additionally, there are occasional opportunities for students to study abroad for a term or a year, depending on the school’s partnerships and the student's profile.
Our students have access to a broad range of university courses as preparation for a successful professional career, whether in Spain or abroad. Students also receive the support they need to make confident academic choices, with access to detailed course information and interactive sessions with current university students. Our dedicated guidance team, alongside insightful support from teachers, ensures that students are well-prepared to make informed decisions about their academic future. Whether aiming for prestigious Spanish universities or internationally renowned institutions, students receive personalised guidance to navigate the university selection process and prepare for entrance exams like the SAT or IELTS.
In the IB framework, students are encouraged to think globally through six key contexts - identities and relationships, orientation in space and time, personal and cultural expression, scientific and technical innovation, globalisation and sustainability and equity and development.
These areas promote international-mindedness, critical thinking and intercultural understanding. By exploring real-world issues, students develop personal values, inquiry skills and a sense of responsibility towards the planet, preparing them to become engaged and globally aware individuals.
The joy of teaching! A school is only as good as the teachers and students that form it. Every day, in some way, the children here at Newton make my efforts worthwhile and my role rewarding, whilst my colleagues support and inspire me.
