Spanish Baccalaureate in Alicante
After finishing their secondary education at Newton College, our students can choose between two clearly distinct curriculums that allow them to access different universities around the world. They can choose between the Diploma Programme of the International Baccalaureate and the national programme, in accordance with current Spanish education law.
The Spanish Baccalaureate at Newton College follows the official curriculum of the Spanish education system and is adapted to international requirements.

Our school is committed to offering personalised teaching that caters for the needs of each student, preparing them for a successful academic and professional future.
Spanish Baccalaureate Curriculum (Y12-Y13 – 16 to 18 years)
The Spanish Baccalaureate at Newton College covers Y12 and Y13, which corresponds to students between the ages of 16 and 18. During these two years, students study in depth the key subjects of their chosen pathways, acquiring skills that prepare them for the Baccalaureate Assessment for University Entrance (EBAU) and for a full university life.
The Baccalaureate curriculum at Newton College is based on the Spanish education system, but with an international focus that allows students to access both Spanish and foreign universities. In addition, the centre incorporates active methodologies that encourage critical thinking, creativity and autonomy in learning.
As in every stage of their secondary education, we enter our students for external language certificate examinations, namely for the Advanced (C1) and Proficiency (C2) levels of the University of Cambridge, and the exams of the Goethe Institute.
Health Sciences
The Health Sciences pathway at Newton College is designed for students who wish to pursue higher studies in areas such as Medicine, Biology, Nursing, Pharmacy or any other health-related field (technical and bio-health paths).
The curriculum includes subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, all of which are fundamental to developing a deep understanding of science.
This modality not only prepares students for the EBAU, but also offers a solid training in scientific research and analytical thinking, essential skills to successfully face university studies and later careers in health sciences.
Social Science
For students interested in disciplines such as Economics, Law, Psychology, Sociology or Political Science, the Social Sciences stream offers a curriculum tailored to their interests.
Newton College offers subjects such as Economics, History, Mathematics applied to the social sciences and Geography, which provide students with the necessary foundations to gain access to the best national and international universities.
This modality is focused on developing critical analysis and understanding of social, economic and political phenomena, preparing them to be committed citizens and professionals, capable of leading in their respective fields.
EBAU (Selectividad)
The Baccalaureate at Newton College culminates with the preparation for the Baccalaureate Evaluation for University Entrance (EBAU), commonly known as Selectividad. This test is crucial for access to Spanish universities and Newton College provides an intensive preparation programme to ensure that students face this exam with confidence and success.
Teachers guide students through the whole process, ensuring that they have a good understanding of the subjects and develop the necessary skills to achieve the best grades in the EBAU.
Our school has always had a 100% pass rate in these exams, and the average mark for the school has always been 7 or higher, out of 10. This means that our students go on to University, having benefited from their high-quality preparation.
