The long summer days have finally drawn to a close, and in Jávea that means one thing: it’s back-to-school season. The first school run has been done, the new uniforms are neatly pressed, and — most importantly — the very first coffee of the season has been enjoyed in peace. For many parents, it’s a small but glorious ritual after weeks of endless energy, sandy feet, late nights, and the joyful chaos of summer. The house feels quieter, calmer, and suddenly, a new rhythm begins to set in.
For the children, the excitement is just as real. After weeks of freedom, they are buzzing to see their friends again, swap holiday stories, and dive into the fun of a new school year. School isn’t just about books, lessons, and homework — it’s also about discovering passions, developing new skills, and creating lasting memories outside the classroom. And here in Jávea, families are spoiled for choice when it comes to after-school.
From the football pitch to the gymnastics mat, from the dance studio to the golf course, and even out on the sparkling Mediterranean waters, there’s something for every child. Local clubs and centres are thriving with opportunities, making it easy for parents to find activities that suit their children’s interests and personalities.

For parents, this season brings a well-earned breather. After the long, busy summer, it’s time to exhale. Knowing the kids are out making friends, learning new skills, and having fun gives mums and dads the chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy a little downtime. Whether that’s catching up on work, joining a yoga class, or simply sitting back with that second peaceful coffee of the day, this is the perfect moment to reclaim some calm.
So here’s to a fresh start—for children eager to jump back into school life and for parents ready to enjoy a new routine. September in Jávea is more than just back to school—it’s the beginning of a season filled with possibility, balance, and a little more peace for everyone.
