The magazine focuses on both helping new families find the right school or nursery, and on educational matters / advice for all families living here.The aim of the magazine is to bring together all international educational establishments through their most important shared objective:
The promotion of first class care and education for children.
magazine unites the educators and also brings those providing and those receiving education closer together. Articles are written by teachers, working here, and now, in Spain, sharing their knowledge and advice with our readers. 1st for schools is a full colour, A4 magazine.

- Back to school (September, October, November)
- Christmas / New Year (December, January, February)
- Easter (March, April, May)
- Summer (June, July, August)
is a family concern. It is published by a family, who relocated from England to Spain in 2002. With a background in education, experience in teaching in both the UK and Spain, we understand the both the pressures and the joys of international education and aim to help both new and existing families in all educational matters.Readership

The distribution of 1st for Schools reflects our readership directly.
magazine is distributed to all the major nurseries and international schools on the Costa. The vast majority of the international schools and nurseries give a copy to each child to take home, making us the only “direct to families” publication (without subscription). This direct distribution system has helped our advertisers gain a great response from clients, which in turn has helped us expand and develop.1st for Schools has achieved much since its launch. It has grown 50% in its first 6 issues and issue 7 marked the beginning of the magazine's articles being translated into Spanish.
