The private schools and ''concertados'' can be religious (Catholic mostly but any religion is acceptable) or secular, but the public schools are strictly secular.  ''Concertado'' or semi-private or quasi-private schools fill a need by providing schools where the government isn't able to or predate the national school system. The private schools in Murcia are not only English language schools. They also include Nelva, a religious school, and San Jorge, a secular bilingual Spanish school.

Murcia also offers Adult Education for people who want to return to complete high school and possibly continue on to the university.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|title=Listado de centros|url=https://transparencia.carm.es/documents/184026/184318/Directorio+de+centros+educativos+p%C3%BAblicos/5822499b-8648-4325-88fe-e10101e3bb66|page=38|website=Portal de Transparencia – Región de Murcia|language=es|access-date=22 December 2020|archive-date=14 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170214124149/http://transparencia.carm.es/documents/184026/184318/Directorio+de+centros+educativos+p%C3%BAblicos/5822499b-8648-4325-88fe-e10101e3bb66|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=CARM.es – Centro Público de Educación para Personas Adultas García Alix de Murcia|url=https://www.carm.es/web/pagina?IDCONTENIDO=86386&IDTIPO=160&RASTRO=c$m122,133,2087|language=es}}</ref>
