The school is located in central Madrid, in the Arturo Soria residential district, and benefits from convenient transport connections. In the main building, fully renovated in 2015, the central offices and the Primary, Secondary, and Baccalaureate levels are housed. A few meters away is the Infant School I (0-3 years) building and the Infant School II (3-6 years) building, where the youngest can enjoy an independent space adapted for them. The school combines innovation and tradition to offer an education of excellence. Our holistic approach ensures that every student develops their maximum potential in a motivating, inclusive environment with an international projection.
With the start of the 2022/23 academic year we implemented new active learning spaces, as shown in a series of videos. In the laboratories we increased space and the number of microscopes and other tools for students to practice what they learn. We introduced new safety measures such as emergency showers, reagent storage, acid and base cabinets, and a gas extraction hood. My First CRC is a new sustainable learning space built with natural materials, emphasizing transparency in learning and cross-ventilation across all classrooms. We used natural paints without parabens, ceilings with acoustic insulation from natural fibers, and wooden manipulatives to create an environmentally friendly learning environment. Solar panels have been installed at other centers to promote self-consumption and feed surplus energy into the grid.
