Maxwell School is an international school in Madrid founded by Linda Barbour, Founder and Head of School. Maxwell aims to recreate an education structured by the British National Curriculum, prepared to teach students for a changing world, with a purpose to nurture creative, joyful, compassionate learners who strive for academic excellence. The school offers a well-rounded bilingual curriculum delivered by a multi-disciplinary team to meet academic, emotional and social needs. It provides a dynamic, stimulating environment with small class sizes and a strong teacher-student ratio to support individual potential. Maxwell operates on two Madrid campuses, the Serrano building in Barrio de Salamanca and a second campus a five-minute walk away in El Viso; both campuses are near public transport, and the urban setting allows students to engage with Madrid's culture and history.
Maxwell School fosters a diverse and inclusive learning community where many voices and backgrounds are valued among students, parents, faculty, staff, and alumni; learning is both cognitive and identity-based. A small-school atmosphere with a low teacher-student ratio helps educators know each student's needs and support their development. The school situates learning within Madrid's culture and history, encouraging students to engage with the city as part of their education. Maxwell operates across two Madrid campuses, strengthening the sense of community for families and students.
