The International School of Madrid

Founded in 1971, the school is a family-owned institution that prioritizes a supportive learning environment over profit. Its core values are respect, loyalty, and friendship, which guide the school's mission to prepare students for the demands of the 21st century and encourage them to become responsible, independent citizens.

The school follows the English National Curriculum from Early Years (ages 2–5) through to Sixth Form (ages 16–18). Students prepare for IGCSE and A-Level examinations, while also taking mandatory courses in Spanish Lengua y Literatura and Cultura Española to allow for validation within the Spanish education system. The curriculum is designed to promote academic, physical, and moral development, ensuring students achieve fluency in both English and Spanish.

The school has a strong record of academic success, with 100% of 2023 graduates currently attending university. Students frequently receive Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards for top marks in IGCSE and A-Level subjects globally, and graduates go on to attend institutions in the UK, US, Spain, and the EU.

The school maintains a child-centred approach, ensuring that each student is known individually. It prioritizes the social, moral, and emotional development of its pupils, aiming to create a safe and secure environment where students feel supported in their personal and academic growth.

The school accepts applications throughout the year for students aged 2 to 18. The admissions process involves an initial inquiry, a school tour (in-person or virtual), and the submission of the latest school report. For students entering Year 7 through Year 13, entrance tests may be required to assess academic readiness.

The school operates across three distinct locations in Madrid: a Primary School (Calle Rosa Jardón, 3), a Middle School (Calle Rosa Jardón, 12), and a Secondary School (Calle Serrano Galvache, 13). These facilities are situated in the central Chamartín neighbourhood.

The school emphasizes a broad and balanced education that extends beyond the classroom, with notable achievements in sports and the arts. These activities are designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and the development of well-rounded individuals.
