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 will be known, not just by name, but by how they think, what motivates them, and what they need to thrive.
