Uniform: The school uniform is a distinctive element of Colegio Internacional Meres and forms the first institutional image of the school wherever students go. The uniform has summer and winter versions and promotes equality, belonging and a formal classroom climate, supporting discipline. Students must be neatly dressed: hair kept short and tidy (and clean-shaven for boys); girls must have hair tied during meals, PE and exams; makeup, nail polish, and extreme hairstyles or dyes are not allowed; accessories are limited to a watch and small earrings; all uniform items must be labeled, shirts tucked in, and skirts kept at knee length; repeated breaches may be treated as a serious fault.
The school provides a cafeteria service for student meals on campus. Meals are provided on-site as part of the school's food provisions.
The school is privately owned and managed. It belongs to the Cognita group and operates under Cognita Spain; the Director leads the school and enforces Cognita's policies, with governance provided by Cognita Spain as part of the Cognita network.
Colegio Internacional Meres is a private Asturian centre in Meres, Asturias, delivering the IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) alongside elements of the Spanish national curriculum for learners from early childhood through secondary education. The school serves students from ages 3 to 18 and emphasizes critical thinking, self-discipline and teamwork to develop multidisciplinary, global and resilient individuals. Founded in 1966, Meres International School is the only private Asturian centre officially accredited as an IB World School and was among the first in Spain to achieve this status. The campus sits in a natural environment with over 150,000 square metres of sports facilities and 9,000 square metres of classrooms and learning spaces. Facilities include an Agora classroom for oral activities, an Art & Creativity area, science laboratories for Physics & Chemistry and Biology & Geology, plus Early Childhood spaces designed for active learning. A four-week Meres Sport Campus and a broad range of STEAM and arts activities enrich the year round curriculum. The school combines IB with the Spanish curriculum to provide a high-quality global education and uses a teacher-led, inquiry-based approach across programmes.
