Questions

How many French-speaking schools are there in Spain?
We list 50, in 16 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Seville, with 11 of the 50.
Is French unusual for schools in Spain?
12% of the 416 schools we hold in Spain are recorded as teaching in French. Each source records a language for its own reasons, so the figure reflects who publishes that information, not only who speaks what.
