Fontenebro International School: Bilingual School in Madrid

 

Fontenebro International School is a leading bilingual school in Madrid, offering an international and innovative educational model for students from 1 to 18 years old. Located in a privileged natural environment in the Sierra de Guadarrama, our school provides an excellent academic education based on active methodologies, solid values and a deep linguistic immersion from the earliest stages.

Curriculum at Fontenebro International School

As a bilingual school in Madrid, at Fontenebro International School we follow a curriculum adapted to international standards, with a coherent educational progression from bilingual infant school to Baccalaureate. Throughout all educational stages, we promote critical thinking, creativity and student autonomy, in an environment of respect and cultural diversity.

Linguistic immersion from Infant

From the infant stage, we implement a bilingual nursery school model, where children acquire English in a natural and progressive way, thanks to daily contact with qualified native and bilingual teachers. This early immersion in a bilingual and multicultural environment allows pupils to develop a solid linguistic competence in English and Spanish from their first years of school life.

English language immersion accounts for 90% of the time in early childhood.

International Primary Curriculum (IPC)

 

In Primary, pupils work under the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), an approach recognised worldwide for integrating academic content with personal development and global awareness. Fontenebro International School offers a truly international primary curriculum in Madrid, which encourages enquiry, collaborative work and connections between different areas of knowledge. This enables pupils to develop essential skills for today’s world, such as intercultural communication and problem solving.

Secondary International Curriculum (MYC)

 

At Secondary level, we follow the Middle Years Curriculum (MYC), designed for pupils aged 11-16. This programme stimulates interdisciplinary thinking and learning applied to the real world. Our proposal distinguishes itself as a benchmark in the international secondary curriculum in Madrid, consolidating English proficiency and academic preparation for the challenges of the future, both in higher education and in international contexts.

Baccalaureate Modalities: Scientific, Social and Arts

In the final years of schooling, Fontenebro International School offers several Baccalaureate modalities in Madrid, adapted to the interests and aspirations of each student. We have pathways in Science and Technology, Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Arts Baccalaureate in Madrid, an option which distinguishes us for its creative, artistic and humanistic approach.

Our Baccalaureate is demanding, but highly personalised. Individualised monitoring and continuous preparation guarantee excellent results in the EBAU, as well as successful access to prestigious national and international universities.
