It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Apply now through Virtus College's admissions process. The process consists of four steps. The admissions assessments are not exams to be prepared for and do not determine acceptance; they help understand each student's profile to tailor their educational journey. At the end, families receive a Vocational Profile report with an initial recommendation for A-Level choices. Step 1: Complete the application form via the online application. Step 2: Admissions Meeting — a chance to visit the school and confirm fit. Step 3: Student Interview and Tests — personal interview and tests conducted online and face-to-face. Step 4: Vocational Profile results and resolution of the admissions committee — guidance on how Virtus College can best support the student's goals. Entry requirements: At least 6 IGCSEs with a minimum grade of C (4) including Maths and English Language; a minimum grade of 6 (B) in the IGCSE subjects the student wishes to study as A-Levels; to study Mathematics and/or Science, at least a grade 7 (A) in the equivalent IGCSE; to study Further Mathematics, at least a grade 8-9 (A). For students currently studying in a system other than the British system (MYP, Spanish system, American system, French system, etc.), contact Admissions. Places are limited; the admissions process is open until March 31.
DRIVE scholarships reward both academic achievement and outstanding external achievements and reduce tuition by 15% over the two-year program; two students are awarded DRIVE scholarships at the start of Year 12. There is also a 5% discount for families with two or more children enrolled.
Virtus College The British Sixth Form is an independent Madrid school specialising in the A-Level stage for learners aged 16 to 18. It operates as a day school and is a partner of The Schools Trust, bringing A-Levels to Spain with a two-year programme that emphasises choice and progression. Students select four subjects from fifteen International A-Level options, studied in small classes of up to ten, with modular assessments across Year 12 and Year 13 and January and May exam series. Each pupil has a mentor guiding academic, career, personal development and wellbeing pathways. The campus in Alcobendas opened in 2023 as a purpose-built space with glass-panelled classrooms, science laboratories, digital library and quiet study zones, plus rooftop terraces and wellbeing areas. Enrichment courses complement the core curriculum, and a two-year roadmap supports university entry, including an Oxbridge & Ivy League Programme and access to residential accommodation for international students.
