Areteia School

Founded in 1980, the school operates on the principle of creating an inclusive, high-quality educational environment where every student can progress based on their personal characteristics. The educational approach focuses on the development of the "knowing," the "being," and the "doing," with a commitment to fostering student happiness, self-confidence, and motivation through their individual strengths. The school promotes values such as cooperation, solidarity, respect for differences, and community.

The school follows the Spanish educational system, offering all stages from Educación Infantil (Early Childhood) through to Bachillerato. Additionally, it provides vocational pathways, including Formación Profesional Básica (Basic Vocational Training) and cycles of Formación Profesional de Grado Medio y Superior (Intermediate and Higher Vocational Training). The curriculum is complemented by workshops, conferences, and innovative events designed to foster integral growth and personal development.

The school is a pioneer in inclusive education, specializing in supporting students with diverse learning needs, including those with learning difficulties or specific diagnostic profiles such as TDA, TDAH, dyslexia, high-functioning TEA, Asperger's Syndrome, and giftedness, as well as socio-emotional difficulties associated with adopted children. It employs a specialized team and utilizes a psychopedagogical intervention program and individualized methodology to adapt the standard curriculum to the unique rhythms and capacities of each student.

The admissions process begins with an initial inquiry followed by a personal interview with the family. Subsequently, the school conducts an interview and an initial evaluation of the student to determine their learning style and specific educational needs, which informs the creation of a personalized educational plan. Once these requirements are met, the process concludes with the formalization of enrollment and the submission of required documentation.

Located in the La Moraleja urbanisation in Alcobendas, Madrid, the campus provides a range of facilities designed to support all stages of the curriculum. These include classrooms, laboratories, and sports facilities. The school also provides various services to support families, such as a school uniform and supply shop, and a network of bus routes covering the Madrid metropolitan area.
