Madrid Active School

Madrid Active School is founded on active pedagogy, where children learn by doing and are the central element of the learning process. The school's values include respect, inclusion, responsible freedom, trust, participation, commitment, openness, sustainability, and enthusiasm, drawing influence from the work of Rebeca and Mauricio Wild and Maria Montessori. The approach is constructivist, viewing children as active builders of their own understanding of the world.

The school provides education from the second cycle of kindergarten through primary and secondary (1st to 4th ESO). The curriculum emphasizes autonomy and self-esteem, transitioning from sensory-motor experimentation in infancy to complex projects and abstract thinking in secondary school. From 3rd ESO onwards, students have the option to prepare as private candidates for the IGCSE through Cambridge University Press & Assessment.

The school prioritizes social and emotional development, integrating principles of non-violent communication and active listening throughout the day. Staff are trained to provide personalized attention and to respect physical, cognitive, emotional, and cultural diversity, ensuring that proposals are adapted to the needs of each individual student.

The school accepts applications throughout the year for students aged 3 to 16. The process involves submitting an inquiry form, followed by an email exchange to complete a data sheet, a scheduled interview, and an opportunity for families to observe a day of school operations.

The school offers a branded 2025 calendar available for purchase, which serves as a donation to support the school's project.

Located in central Madrid near the Tetuán metro station, the campus features an environment prepared with differentiated zones based on learning and development areas. Facilities include a psychomotricity room for primary students and spaces equipped with both Montessori and other manipulative pedagogical materials.
