Sierra Bernia School of

Alicante

Sierra Bernia School is a privately owned coeducational day school offering British education from 3 to 18 years to pupils of all nationalities. It was founded in 1973 and, as the longest established British School on the costa Blanca, it has become a leader in its field and very much respected within the community. Situated on the outskirts of Alfaz del Pi, an impressive village with a high foreign resident population, the school has easy access to the main Benidorm/Altea coast road and the motorway. Pupils travel from as far as Javea, Moraira and Calpe to the north and Campello, San Juan and Alicante to the south. A coastal school bus service is provided between Calpe in the north and Benidorm in the south, stopping at various points en route. The school’s priority is to provide a happy working environment where children of all nationalities gain academic success. As a “European” centre of education, integration amongst the multi-national and bilingual pupils on roll is encouraged, as is participation in local community events. In preparing pupils for life in the modern world where the cosmopolitan atmosphere found on the Costa Blanca makes great demands on young people, the school works towards the goal where pupils achieve their full potential, gaining ability to apply themselves to tasks with respect and consideration for others.
