It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
More than fifty years of history and counting. In 1968, a group of Swiss expatriates founded a non‑profit association with the aim of establishing the Swiss School Madrid. Two years later the school opened its doors in the Arturo Soria area with 46 students and four teachers. In 1972, after official recognition by the Swiss authorities, the new school center at the current site was opened. Since then the school has continuously expanded its facilities and now serves about 600 students. Since 1970 thousands of students have passed through our classrooms and they are our best ambassadors.
The community section includes a blog and a newsletter for the school community. There is a summer camp (Sommerlager 2024) and leisure courses (Freizeitkurse) offered as part of school life. There is an Alumni section, reflecting ongoing engagement with former students. There is a Parent School (Elternschule) program for parents.
Colégio Suizo Madrid is a confessional independent, nonprofit school for ages 2 to 18, with a small, family-like atmosphere. The curriculum centers on the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) alongside a bespoke programme designed to support holistic, individualized development. German is the language of instruction and main language, with two bilingual streams: German–Spanish and English–Spanish; English and French are taught and Cambridge/Alliance exams are offered. The school serves about 530–600 students and emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, responsibility and independence. Affiliated with SIS Swiss International Schools Group from the 2026/27 year, the school draws on a long Swiss heritage. It sits on nearly 25,000 m² of green space in Alcobendas, adjacent to La Moraleja, and shares facilities with the Swiss Club. Excellence is supported by extensive science labs, music and arts spaces, a library, and a capacity for hands-on, project-based learning, with sport occupying 11,000 m² of outdoor and indoor facilities.
