Xabia International College (XIC) is entering an exciting new chapter. With more than 100 children on a waiting list and growing interest from families across Costa Blanca, the school is officially expanding its primary school offering in September 2025—a move that marks a significant milestone in its journey.
Led by Headmaster Richard Wijeratne, XIC has built a reputation not just for academic excellence, but for creating a school culture that students and teachers genuinely enjoy being part of. Now, with the expansion of the primary school, even more families will have the opportunity to experience what makes XIC such a special place to learn and grow.
Meeting Demand with a Vision for the Future
The upcoming expansion will allow the school to move from two classes to three in every year group within the primary phase. “We’ve seen incredible growth over the past five to six years,” says Richard. “The community trusts what we do here, and this is a direct response to that demand.”
The increase in capacity means more children can access XIC’s personalised, nurturing approach to early education. Small class sizes and strong relationships between staff and students will continue to be a core part of the school’s identity, even as it grows.
Why Now is the Time to Secure a Place
With the waiting list continuing to grow, securing a place early is crucial for families considering XIC. This expansion not only opens up more availability at the primary level—it also increases opportunities to progress into the school’s popular secondary programme.
Families enrolling children in the primary phase now will have a clearer path into secondary education at XIC, giving them long-term consistency and stability in their child’s learning journey.
Growth Without Losing Community
For Richard and the leadership team, the expansion is about more than numbers—it’s about maintaining the sense of community and care that defines the school. “Growth is exciting, but it has to be the right kind of growth,” he says. “We’ve always believed that a school is built on people. If we stay true to our values and keep investing in the right educators, we’ll continue to offer something truly special.”
As XIC prepares for this next stage, the message is clear: the school’s future is bright, and families who value a balanced, character-driven education have even more reason to consider becoming part of its growing community.
