We are delighted to welcome you and your family to the International College Spain community. Whether you've just arrived in Spain or are making the transition from another school, we understand that starting at a new international school can feel both exciting and overwhelming – and we're here to support you every step of the way.
Your Journey Starts Here
At ICS Madrid, we believe that every family brings something special to our diverse, multicultural community. Our students represent over 70 nationalities, creating a rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and perspectives that makes our school truly unique. Your family's story, traditions, and experiences will add to this beautiful mosaic that defines who we are.
What Makes ICS Madrid Special
Our school has been nurturing global citizens for over four decades, combining academic excellence with a genuine care for each student's individual growth. We follow the International Baccalaureate Curriculum embracing international perspectives, preparing students not just for university success, but for meaningful lives as confident, compassionate global citizens.
From our Early Years Kindergarten classes (K3, K4 & K5), Primary Years Programme (Grades 1 to 5), Middle Years Programme (Grades 6 to 10) through to our Diploma Programme (Grades 11 & 12), we maintain small class sizes that allow our dedicated teachers to know each student personally. This means your child won't just be a number here – they'll be seen, heard, and supported in reaching their full potential.
