Curriculum at Fontenebro International School
Fontenebro International School is a British school in Madrid offering an international education from the first year to 18. Our curriculum combines the best of the British curriculum with the standards of the Spanish educational system, thus ensuring a balanced and complete education.
From kindergarten to high school, each phase of learning is adapted to the needs and abilities of our students, respecting their individual rhythms. We are committed to active and personalized methodologies, encouraging participation, intellectual curiosity and love for learning.
Linguistic immersion from kindergarten
One of our educational pillars is linguistic immersion from the early years. We have a bilingual nursery school in Madrid where children from 2 to 5 years old are immersed in an environment where English and Spanish coexist naturally, although English immersion accounts for 90% of the time.
Thanks to the presence of native teachers and activities specifically designed to stimulate language development, our students acquire a second language organically and effectively. This early immersion allows them to grow up as true bilinguals, a crucial advantage for their future.
International Primary Curriculum (IPC)
During the Primary stage, our students follow the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), a program recognized worldwide for its comprehensive and thematic approach. This international curriculum in Madrid focuses on learning through interdisciplinary projects that connect subjects in a meaningful way.
The IPC not only reinforces core academic competencies, but also fosters global thinking, personal responsibility, environmental awareness and teamwork. At Fontenebro School, we believe that learning should be an active, exciting and life-relevant experience.
International Secondary Curriculum (MYP)
At the Secondary level, we implement the Middle Years Program (MYP) of the International Baccalaureate, an international secondary curriculum in Madrid that prepares students to meet the challenges of the contemporary world.
The MYP focuses on developing research, analytical, communication and critical thinking skills, as well as building a strong ethical foundation. Through personal projects and a reflective approach to learning, our students become global citizens engaged with their environment and prepared to successfully continue on to Bachillerato.
Baccalaureate Modalities
At Fontenebro International School we offer various modalities of Bachillerato in Madrid, including the option of Arts Bachillerato in Madrid, an uncommon proposal in other international centers.
Our Baccalaureate prepares students to successfully take the EVAU (University Entrance Examination) and also to apply to international universities. We combine rigorous academic accompaniment with personalized vocational guidance, thus ensuring that each student takes the most appropriate path according to his or her interests and abilities.
