Madrid Active School is an international school located in central Madrid offering preschool through secondary education. It is authorized as a U.S. foreign school by the Community of Madrid and NEASC-accredited. The school follows an American curriculum alongside Cambridge IGCSE options from 3rd ESO, with a pathway that supports multilingual learning. Classroom practice centers on active pedagogy: students take a leading, active role in learning, moving from concrete experiences to abstract thinking, with a balance of spontaneous activity and adult-guided proposals. Montessori materials and differentiated zones organize the learning environment to meet developmental needs and promote autonomy, self-esteem, and social-emotional growth through non-violent communication and active listening. Bilingual aims integrate Spanish as the common language while English is strengthened through play and progressively more complex activities. Values include Respect, Inclusion, Sustainability, Participation, and Commitment. The school emphasizes family involvement and project work that connects classroom learning to the wider world.
