New international school has opened in Benahavis

Creators International School has launched as a specialist STEM school, with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The incredible space in the heart of Benahavis village guarantees to cap class sizes to just 12 pupils. With a mission to develop ‘innovators, leaders, scientists, entrepreneurs and global citizens of the future’ it has high ambitions. The school will be for students aged seven to 18, but its first intake this month begins with Year seven (11-year-olds) and above. Following the British curriculum with international elements, boarding for up to 100 students is scheduled from September 2027. Maths will be particularly prominent. Key Stage 3 pupils are timetabled for ten maths lessons a week, alongside four each in biology, chemistry, physics, computer science and ICT. Other subjects such as English, Spanish, humanities, art and music are also included.
