Extra-Curricular Activities

Clubs, activities, and opportunities to explore interests and passions

Academic and Intellectual

Lessons are interactive and forward‑looking, with students participating in academic competitions and extension projects. Each student follows a tailored weekly schedule balancing A‑Level courses, mentoring sessions, and enrichment. The timetable also includes an Oxbridge & Ivy League Programme to shape future leaders for top universities.

Arts and Creative

Student‑led clubs reflect the passions of our Sixth Formers, including debate, entrepreneurship and the creative arts. The House System builds community across year groups and fosters healthy competition in arts and sports. Clubs and societies provide ongoing opportunities to develop creativity and leadership outside the classroom.

Cultural and Language

Spanish A‑Level is offered as part of the curriculum. The timetable includes Spanish A‑Level alongside other subjects such as Maths and Economics. MUN Debating supports language skills and cross‑cultural communication through structured discussion and diplomacy.

Social and Hobbies

Student‑led clubs reflect Sixth Formers' passions, from debate and entrepreneurship to creative arts. MUN Debating is offered as part of school life. The Formula 1 for Schools competition and the Young Enterprise enrichment programme provide hands‑on experiences beyond the classroom.

Community and Service

Service is central to our school values. Students participate in volunteer initiatives and organise fundraising events with partner organisations such as Sant'Egidio and ECOALF. These activities promote empathy, global awareness and a deep‑rooted commitment to social responsibility.

Leadership and Professional

Every student is guided by a dedicated personal mentor across academic, careers, personal development, and wellbeing. The school runs an Oxbridge & Ivy League Programme to prepare students for top universities. Mentoring supports leadership and professional development through one‑to‑one guidance.

Lifestyle and Wellbeing

Sport is embedded in the curriculum, promoting physical wellbeing and teamwork. Students can choose from football, basketball, padel, and more, with high‑level competitors accessing specialist programmes through a partnership with the European School of Sports. Lunch is freshly prepared daily by Madrid's top organic caterers, with dietary needs accommodated to support energy and wellbeing.

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.
