Choosing the best school for our sons and daughters is one of the questions that raises the most doubts among families. In this article, we will offer you a list of the 10 best schools in Bizkaia according to the data extracted from the ranking published by Micole.

The choice of the best school for our children can be based on different aspects or preferences, but in general terms, parents look for schools with a solid academic quality, a school with a good reputation, with facilities and resources such as laboratories, libraries, sports or technological areas, etc.

Keys to choosing the best school

The pedagogical approach is also an important aspect for families in Bizkaia. In recent years, the range of pedagogical and educational proposals offered by schools in Bizkaia has grown. From traditional teaching methods to Montessori education, the Montessori methodology, among others, can be a decisive factor for parents to choose the educational model that best fits their values.

The availability of extracurricular activities is another point to consider. Sports, art or music are some of the most valued extracurricular activities among families.

In addition, parents tend to look for schools that reflect their values and ethical principles. The school’s mission and vision are key aspects in this regard.

Finally, safety, social climate and attention to diversity are factors that contribute to the school environment and may be essential considerations for most parents.

In general, these considerations can be fundamental when making the decision, but they can also be accompanied by a thorough investigation of each school through its website, social networks, consultations with relatives and acquaintances or visits to the schools. Schools in Bizkaia usually organise open days so that families can get to know their facilities and the educational project of each school.

As part of this support in evaluating the best schools in Bizkaia, many parents look for rankings to help them select the best school for their children.
