Learnlife is Officially Accredited as an International Secondary School

Written by Melissa Leighty, Education Content Strategist at Learnlife

We are proud to share a major milestone in Learnlife’s journey.

Learnlife’s Secondary Programme at the Urban Hub is now recognised as an officially accredited international secondary school in Spain.

In addition, we have gained full accreditation with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), one of the world’s most respected accrediting organisations.

This dual recognition matters.

It means that learners who meet the required criteria can graduate with an American high school diploma through NEASC. For those who wish, they may also apply to co-validate their learning to receive the Spanish ESO certificate.

For learners, it expands possibility. For families, this provides clarity and confidence, and affirms that innovation and rigour can go hand in hand.  

Accreditation Without Compromise

What makes this moment especially meaningful is that accreditation was achieved while fully maintaining our learner-centred approach.

• Our competency-based model.

• Our Learning Vitae.

• Our personalised pathways.

• Our commitment to autonomy and real-world learning.

Accreditation confirms that these are not alternative ideas outside of recognised standards. They meet — and in many cases exceed — international expectations for quality and academic integrity.

Expanding Pathways for Every Learner

Each year, Learnlife graduates move into diverse and inspiring next steps — from university degrees in computer science and the arts, from professional dance to freelance design and entrepreneurship.

With international accreditation now secured, the range of future pathways continues to grow.

Learners leave Learnlife not only with recognised qualifications, but with the skills, agency, and clarity to pursue futures aligned with who they are and what they care about.

A Milestone — and a Commitment

This recognition marks an important chapter for Learnlife’s Secondary Programme.

But more than that, it strengthens our long-term mission: to demonstrate that education can be both rigorous and human, globally recognised and deeply personal.

We remain committed to inspiring educational change — not just through ideas, but through a model that meets international standards while keeping learners at the centre.
