Seville Elementary and Middle School (SEMS) provides education services to students in kindergarten through 8^th grade. The school has four multi-grade general education classrooms (kindergarten and first grade, second and third grade, fourth and fifth grade, and sixth and seventh and eighth grade) and five special classes (Host Nation, Art Enrichment, Health and Exercise, Technology, and Music Counseling).

High school students (grades 9^th-12^th) can either, be bussed (3 - 4 hours round-trip per school day) to David G. Farragut High School at Naval Station Rota (Rota HS), attend local Spanish schools without financial assistance from DoDEA, or enroll in homeschooling.

SEMS offers various afterschool clubs and family activities throughout the school year. The school’s website has contact information. Click the linked words to learn more about the curriculum, enrollment, and DoDEA.

Homeschool is not authorized in Spain (and most of Europe); however, under the SOFA agreement, U.S. military families stationed in Spain may be allowed to participate in homeschooling. Students that are homeschooled may continue to be enrolled at Sevilla Elementary/Middle School or Rota Middle/High School and be provided access to school resources.

In addition, there are multiple options for Spanish schools, including day care, public school, publicly funded independent school “charter school”, private school, and international school.

Spanish public schools are in high demand; to ensure access, it is highly recommended to enroll your child as soon as the school registration process begins. Pre-enrollment takes place in March (April for daycare). You will need these documents: child’s birth certificate and passport (copy), parent’s passports (copy), and child’s vaccination records.

 

If considering a Spanish private school for your child(ren) please keep in mind, private schools set their own admission policy; they have the freedom to establish the criteria they consider to be pertinent. When applying for admission, families will be asked to present their child’s educational records and a school report (if applicable). Additionally, the child will take an admission test prior to being enrolled.

Families wishing to homeschool or participate in the Spanish school system are highly encouraged to register with the School Liaison Program Manager.
