And if not, how much can be missed during the school year in public schools or concertado? My son is a professional athlete, and he needs to participate in various tournaments often?
Good afternoon! If you are under 16, then there is no online education. But! There are many professional athletes in Spain. For example, tennis. And many go to tournaments. In my opinion, you should follow this path: register with the Federation of your sport at the national level and at the Comunidad level where you will live. Any foreigner can do this. My daughter was a member of the equestrian sports federation before obtaining citizenship, and she held the title of Deportista de élite nivel promoción. Each comunidad has its own law regarding the awarding of this title and the conditions for obtaining it. The conditions also vary for different sports. This title allows one to not attend additional subjects. She would go to competitions, and her exam dates could be rescheduled. In our sport, to obtain this title, she participated in the Spanish Championship without making it to the finals (a foreigner cannot become the Champion of Spain), as well as necessarily in the Championship of Comunidad Valenciana. Additionally, with this title, she was offered to enroll in Bachillerato (the last 2 years before university), which is adapted for athletes. She did not choose this path, but the opportunity exists. At the very least, this is a starting point. Sports are appreciated in Spain, athletes are respected in schools, and support is offered.

Thank you very much for the detailed response! My son is 13 years old, he is a chess player, a FIDE master, which is an international title. We will try.
@Irina: Couldn't send the link to the federation's website. There should be regulatory documents on how to register. It's called Federación Española de Ajedrez FEDA Good luck to you!
