History
History
The Judy Sharp Foundation was established in Madrid by Judy Sharp in 1976, after moving to Spain in 1963. Our original mission was to provide remedial assistance in learning to Spanish and English-speaking students with learning differences who faced challenges in achieving success in school. The Foundation's first center was located in El Viso, Madrid, where remedial classes in English and Spanish were provided. In 1978, the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science officially recognized the Judy Sharp Foundation as a private, non-profit foundation. The Judy Sharp International School is a branch of the Judy Sharp Foundation, founded in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, in 1982 as a private, independent, non-profit alternative co-educational day school for English-speaking students; it is one of the oldest American schools in Madrid.
History
Founded by Arsenio Inclán Alonso (Palencia, 1936–2020), Liceo Europeo was created from a belief that education should be a happy environment rather than an oppressive one. He rejected the church monopoly on education and aligned the school with the principles of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza, introducing active teaching and recognizing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a fundamental text. The school has long championed gender equality and multilingualism, with English, French, German, Italian and Mandarin spoken on campus. It became a pioneer in international exchanges, hosting students from around the world and preparing them for study abroad. Today, classrooms are equipped with advanced technology and the center offers the International Baccalaureate, led by Natalia and Gonzalo Inclán who continue their father's legacy, as the school notes it has completed more than thirty-eight years of existence.
