We are a private bilingual school in Montequinto, Seville, covering Early Years (Infantil), Primary (Primaria), Secondary (ESO) and Sixth Form (Bachillerato). We are committed to giving our pupils an all-round education (formación integral), built on personal guidance and support and academic excellence, with dedicated teachers who guide them as they grow, both academically and personally.
Recognised nationally for our academic and sporting achievements, we are ranked among the 100 best schools in Spain by El Mundo and Forbes.
Our motto, Semper Altius (‘always higher’), expresses our aspiration to achieve, every day, the fullest development of our pupils in every dimension, so that they become the best version of themselves and contribute to the good of the society to which they belong.
To that end, we aim to:
In June 1992, the Legionaries of Christ arrived in Seville to found Highlands. After two years of preparation, the school opened in September 1994 with 55 children in a house on Avenida de la Palmera. In 1995 it moved to Montequinto and has grown ever since, adding Secondary (ESO) in 2001 and Sixth Form (Bachillerato) in 2004.
Today the school has more than 1,400 pupils and achieved the leading Selectividad (Spanish university entrance exam) results in 2010, 2014 and 2023.
We are one big family. We share beliefs and values that strengthen our way of life. Our pupils learn in an inspiring environment, with genuine immersion in English in Early Years. We take great care over their academic and personal development. And together we celebrate our external recognition as one of the best schools in Spain.
At Highlands, a sense of belonging and shared values are at the heart of our educational experience. Here, families choose not just a school, but a way of life and a shared vision, where every day is an opportunity to grow and share in an atmosphere of dedication and commitment.
The school’s faith formation, shaped by the Regnum Christi Movement and the Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ, fosters a joyful, lived experience of faith. It offers daily Mass, confession, Eucharistic adoration, spiritual exercises, retreats, prayer workshops and spiritual direction.
It also organises residential trips (convivencias), pilgrimages, preparation for First Holy Communion and Confirmation, and catechesis for parents, and celebrates events such as Vocations Week, religious campaigns, Pope’s Day and the Coronation of Our Lady. Social outreach is encouraged through work with organisations such as Cáritas, Autismo Sevilla and the Banco de Alimentos food bank.
