Welcome to
The American College in Spain
The American College in Spain (ACS) is the first North American High School & University in Andalusia. Located in the town of Marbella (Málaga) since 2013, The American College in Spain offers a curriculum based on the U.S. education system.
Students can complete in Marbella the 4 years of High School (Grades 9 to 12) and then begin their first 2 years of University by completing their general education courses required by all U.S. universities. Upon completion of those 2 years of college, students receive the "Associate of Arts Degree" diploma from Keiser University, which is recognized and accepted worldwide.
After obtaining an Associate of Arts Degree, students can continue their third and fourth year at Keiser University or transfer to any North American university (USA or any other university in Europe or all over the World that offers the American education system) where they can complete their degree and obtain their 4 years diploma: BA (Bachelor of Arts), BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) or BSc (Bachelor of Science).
Programs Offered
Students can begin in Spain their first two years of studies by completing their general education courses required by all U.S. universities. Then they transfer their credits to a university in the USA (or any other university in Europe or all over the World that offers the American education system) from which they intend to earn a degree. This is known as the 2+2 program.
The American College in Spain offers a fully accredited program whereby students can complete their 4 years of high school in Spain. With a tailor-made program, classes are taught by a team of qualified teachers specialized in different subjects. Personal academic advice is offered to all students, national and international, at all ages and levels of study.
The GED (General Educational Development) is a High School proficiency test that evaluates 4 areas of the student’s knowledge: Social Studies, Science, English and Mathematics. Once completed, the student will receive a GED diploma.
Continuous learning is an inherent task of the human being, as it adds to personal growth and confidence. Education opens doors for us, reveals new ideas, new perspectives, and develops our reflective critical thinking, which are so necessary in the ever-changing world we live in.

What do our Students Say?
Vito Moriana, Germany
Being at The American College Spain was a great choice. The school overall is smaller than usual schools, which is a great feature. The amount of people in classrooms is reduced, which gives everyone more individual time with the teacher, and you can concentrate way better. Faculty and students work very closely and have a stronger bond with each other.

Having started studying at the University at ACS was the best way to transfer to New York (where I moved in spring 2022). My experience in Marbella was fantastic. I met amazing people (students and staff), we all had a really good relationship, almost like a family. We really shared good moments inside and outside the classroom. I miss that positive energy. ACS is a really good place to start your college life if you are planning to transfer to the USA (or other university in Europe) and a good point to add is that you would be living in Marbella.

I want to thank the entire ACS team for giving me this opportunity and opening new doors for me. Now I am studying in Florida (USA). ACS is an amazing university with excellent faculty. They have also made me grow as a person.

American college was a really fun and interesting experience for me. The fact that it’s small made it very easy to have a lot of one on one help from the professors. This college not only helped me improve on my studies but also my soft skills, such as teamwork, independence and punctuality. This college is a perfect stepping stone for your future academic and professional career.
