The school admissions process for the 2025-2026 academic year in Valencia, Spain has begun. Families can submit applications for kindergarten and primary school from March 11th to March 14th, 2025, through the Adminova platform. The process is entirely online; however, assistance is available at schools for those needing help.
The number of available places varies by school and grade level. While generally 25 students per classroom is standard, some schools may have more or fewer due to factors such as building size and the application of a lower student-teacher ratio in some municipalities due to lower birth rates. Information on available places is available on Adminova under 'initial vacancies'.
A significant change is the implementation of a new language policy based on the Law regulating educational freedom. Families can now choose between Castilian Spanish or Valencian as the primary language of instruction. The distribution of places in 1st grade of Infant Education will depend on families' language preferences.
Another important change concerns limiting specific circumstances that schools could prioritize (such as low income); now, only those circumstances established by the administration can be considered.
