The English Montessori School was founded in Madrid in 1973. It combines the British curriculum with Montessori pedagogy. For over 40 years TEMS has been established as a British school that blends British education with Montessori pedagogy and offers progression to Spanish Bachillerato or A Levels. TEMS is part of Cognita, a network of over 70 schools across eight countries, which shares expertise and best practice to support global education.
The community of parents, pupils and teachers plays a big role in creating the vibrant atmosphere around the school. There are regular opportunities for parents to understand and contribute to their children's learning, including meetings with teachers. The school also offers weekend excursions where families can feel part of the community, such as climbing, canoeing and horse-riding. TEMS is part of Cognita, a global network of schools.
