St. Patrick's English School is shaping the future with a shared educational project where everyone is welcome.

Our children face a future that will require of them their very best, in which English, Basque and Spanish will be essential and in which progress will depend on mutual understanding and teamwork.

We are a publicly-funded private school, a community of families, pupils and teachers who work together to ensure success. We’d like you to join our project.
