Public schools in the Canary Islands. Each municipality also has 2 local holidays and each school may set up to 4 extra days off (often for Carnival). Check them with your school. Source: BOC 61/2026, correction BOC 75/2026, BOC 133/2026.
Trips on days off
Cheapest flight out and back on school days off, from ACE. Price per person, two one-way tickets, ·1 = with a stop. Prices from recent searches, refreshed every 12 h: 5 h ago.
Workshops for children from Meetup and local news. Below: schools and clubs from OpenStreetMap. Not all of them run classes for children, so check their website.
School is compulsory from age 6 to 16. Preschool from 3 to 6 (Infantil) is free in public schools but not compulsory.
First register at the town hall (empadronamiento). The registration certificate is needed for school and for the doctor.
The main admission round for public schools is once a year, in spring, for the next school year. A child arriving during the year can also be admitted: contact the chosen school or the Consejería de Educación.
Diagnosis and support in public school go through the paediatrician and the school guidance team (EOEP). Ask the school for a meeting right after enrolment.
