The school has Houses. Each year, students choose a name for their house based on the color of their house (examples include Black Ninjas and Red Dynamites). There is a Spirit Week and Service Week competition, and students earn points for their House for exemplary behavior; currently, students can earn points for reading during March.
LIFE International School is a private Christian international school in Tres Cantos, Madrid, delivering an American curriculum entirely in English immersion from age 3 to 18. The Early Childhood program (Pre-K–Kindergarten) uses thematic units that integrate reading, math, science, language development, and social skills through guided play, music, art, and library resources. Elementary (Grades 1–6) teaches English-language core subjects with two Spanish classes, while all other classes are in English and feature cross-curricular projects. Secondary (Grades 7–12) offers a full international pathway preparing students for universities in Spain, the United States, and beyond, with core subjects in English and two Spanish classes. LIFE holds accreditations from MSA and ACSI, and can issue a U.S. high school diploma; diplomas require co-validation for Spanish universities. The new campus on Ronda de Poniente 3 opened in 2026 and shares the Tres Cantos site with SID Madrid, with emphasis on service, leadership, health, and community.
