Following the principle of balanced educational resources, the construction specifications, design requirements, facilities standards, safety specifications, education system and teacher requirements of such schools are implemented in accordance with the provisions of the Spanish Ministry of Education.
Because the number of places is limited, before entering school, the school will ask parents to fill in the family situation score table. The content includes the comprehensive scores of family annual income, number of children and region, and then the school is selected according to the comprehensive scores.
2. Private schools in Spain (at their own expense, mainly in Spanish)
Spain, as a country with a long history and rich culture, has reached its peak since the Renaissance. Private schools in Spain generally recruit students for the whole society and also accept foreign students.
There is no strict religious belief, but there will be different entrance exams and interviews, and students will be comprehensively evaluated. After passing various tests, they will decide whether to admit. According to the different teaching services provided, the fees charged by private schools are also different, which needs specific analysis.
3. Spanish missionary schools (semi-public and semi-private schools)
Influenced by religion, a considerable part of the school system in Spain belongs to missionary schools. Church schools are neither completely public schools nor completely private schools, so they can be called semi-public and semi-private schools. Known as "Concertado" in Spain, it is generally funded by the church and the government. Tuition is relatively lower than that of private schools, and enrollment is also subject to geographical restrictions like public schools, and only students from residential areas near the school are accepted.

Tips for studying in Spain 1. Don't be shy about asking questions.
Spanish teachers have no preference for smart students, and they are more willing to help hard-working students. So when you don't understand or wonder in class, don't hesitate to ask the teacher directly. The Spanish teacher will reply patiently and will recognize your enthusiasm for learning.
Asking questions often can not only let the teacher know your difficulties in learning, but also let the teacher know your progress. This kind of interactive teaching is also very popular with Spanish teachers. Asking and answering questions will make the classroom atmosphere more active.
2. Call the teacher by his first name
This is probably the most surprising thing for China students. In Spain, students can call their teachers by their first names without honorifics. China students will wonder, isn't this disrespectful to teachers? Actually, the Spanish teacher doesn't think so. They prefer to communicate with students as friends, rather than being aloof. They teach hard, but they like to mingle with their classmates.
3. Make full use of extracurricular tutoring
After-school tutoring has been very popular with Spanish students since childhood. Every teacher will have a special after-school tutoring schedule, as long as you can make an appointment with teachers at will during this time period, and then conduct one-on-one after-school tutoring. After-school tutoring can include many things, such as unresolved problems in class, some troubles in school life, or just want to talk to the teacher about your learning process.
Almost everyone in Spain has made countless appointments for after-school tutoring. In contrast, China students don't have this habit, so they seldom make an appointment for after-school tutoring. This is actually a good opportunity to communicate with teachers and make up lessons for free.
4. Notes are really important.
In Spanish universities, there is no unified teaching material, and each teacher's teaching method is unique. At first, it was difficult for China students to adapt to this. At this time, you can use some gadgets:
Recording pen: Students can take a recording pen and put it on the table. After returning home, they can listen to the class patiently for several times, which will not only help you master the knowledge in class, but also greatly improve your listening. (PS。 You need to ask the teacher for permission in advance to record ~)
Copying classmates' notes: It is also common for Spanish students to borrow notes from each other. You can borrow a note from your classmates after class, copy it directly in the school copy room, and read it slowly at home.
In addition, teachers usually upload classroom materials and courseware on the school's online campus, and students can download and review after class.
5. Be brave to express your ideas.
When you and your teacher have different views on a problem, you can tell your teacher what you think. Especially in the process of discussing the paper, when you disagree with the teacher, you can have a "debate".
This is normal in Spain. Spanish teachers will not stifle students' creativity and freedom of speech. He will argue with you. If you can persuade him, he will admit your point of view and may say "bravo" to you to praise your good idea.
6. Rich extracurricular activities
Don't be a nerd when you come to Spain. Campus activities in Spain are very rich, with various student gatherings and sports meetings. Teachers also support students to participate in various healthy extracurricular activities. Teachers in Spain all know that rich extracurricular activities can improve students' social skills and team consciousness, and promote students' social integration, which is an indispensable part of campus life.
