Factors considered can include the proximity of the family home or a parent&#8217;s workplace to the school, siblings already attending the school, household income and certain family or personal circumstances.<\/p><p>This means that <strong>where you live in Marbella can influence your chances of obtaining a place at a particular public or concertado school<\/strong>.<\/p><p>For the <strong>2026\/27 academic year<\/strong>, the ordinary admission process takes place principally during <strong>March<\/strong>, followed by the assessment and allocation process during April and May.
