the reason I’m asking about schools is because it’s my only concern about moving to Spain that my children will struggle getting an education as no Spanish backround. The rest we can work easily

Stick them in state school like everyone else, trust me within 3months they will be fluent, someone did mention Valencian and that never occurred to me but tbh it shouldn't be an issue because outside of the classroom they all speak Spanish

It took my daughter over a year to get good at Spanish. 3 months may be enough for everyday but it is not enough for them to keep up with the others at school.
And depending on the school, more or less subjects are taught in Valenciano and are also necessary for progress.
And a course like ...

That forced my daughter to change to another school....
Please do not underestimate these requirements! It is not about you but about the future of your children.
