How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school nurtures caring, confident, and independent individuals as part of a holistic education. The mission emphasizes global awareness, respect, and empathy. The values foster a caring community with respect for others and the environment, and cultivate practical life skills that build self‑confidence.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school provides personalised learning with tailored support for each student, enabling them to excel academically and develop critical thinking. This approach aligns with Montessori principles to address diverse learning needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school teaches in English, Spanish, and French and provides English immersion from an early age to support language development. English and multilingual instruction are part of the school's offerings.

Mental Wellbeing

A welfare officer is on duty daily from 08:55 to 17:55, and a nurse is available to assist pupils during the day. A psychologist's room is on site to support pupil welfare and wellbeing.

Located in Aravaca, Madrid, The English Montessori School (TEMS) is private day school serving ages 2 to 18 across campuses: Discovery House (Nursery to Year 2), Voyager House (Pre-Nursery to Year 2), Explorer Campus (Year 3–11), and Nexus Navigator (Year 12–13). The school blends the British curriculum with Montessori pedagogy and uses the Cambridge International Curriculum as the preschool through elementary framework, including the Cambridge Primary programme for the elementary years. It maintains a bilingual environment with Polish and English native‑speaking teachers and full‑time English exposure. A Polish curriculum is offered at the high school level. Mixed‑age classes support collaborative learning, and Montessori methods are integrated alongside bilingual education. TEMS was founded in 1973 in Madrid and is part of Cognita, a network of international schools. The campuses provide facilities across 11,151 m² at Explorer Campus, and offers trips and extra‑curriculars, including the Duke of Edinburgh Award and cultural trips.
