OLA everyone, we are a couple with 2 children, 7 year old girl and 7 months old boy.
We want to move to Valencia area for couple of years and looking to make some friends and get to know the community before we land.

Hi don’t live around Valencia, nearer alicante myself. However found a link that has a few international schools listed a few of which are in Valencia

http://www.spanishpropertyco.com/Spanish schools.html

As you said you are moving for a couple of years I presume you won’t be buying and will just rent. Wise, certainly until you find your feet. If you do buy disregard what most estate agents say and do your own homework! The land grab law, now known as the LUV in Valencia is on its knees in Brussels , however check everything is legal!

Valencia is a lovely place, enjoy.
