Spanish Baccalaureate at Fontenebro International School: More Advantages, More Future
In today’s global world, families seek an education that combines academic excellence, international projection, and personal support. At Fontenebro International School, we believe true educational success is built on a solid foundation: the Spanish Baccalaureate, a program that blends the rigor of the national system with an international mindset that prepares students for any university path.
A model with real advantages
Our Spanish Baccalaureate follows Spain’s official curriculum, providing an unquestionable advantage: automatic recognition and direct access to all Spanish universities, without extra exams or validation procedures. Its full alignment with the EBAU (Spanish university entrance exams) ensures that students approach these tests with confidence — achieving results that have made us the top-performing school in the Sierra region, recognized by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.
Unlike the International Baccalaureate (IB) —which requires additional steps to access Spanish universities and focuses on broader, less specialized content— our Spanish program at Fontenebro stands out for its academic depth and discipline in core subjects, essential for demanding degrees in science, technology, or humanities.
Results that speak for themselves
The success of our students in the EBAU is proof of the value of our approach. We achieved a 100% pass rate, with an average general score of 7.5/10, and 80% of students above 10 points, while several scored over 13 out of 14. These results demonstrate not only the effectiveness of the Spanish Baccalaureate at Fontenebro but also the strength of an educational system designed for success in both Spanish and European universities.
More than academics: forming well-rounded individuals
At Fontenebro, the Spanish Baccalaureate is more than a curriculum — it’s a comprehensive learning experience that fosters critical thinking, communication, debate, and public speaking. Our students learn to express their ideas confidently and make thoughtful decisions.
We also prioritize emotional intelligence, teamwork, and independence, understanding that excellence is not only about grades but about developing life skills. Our Guidance Department supports each student academically, emotionally, and vocationally, while our Gifted and Talented Program keeps high-achieving students engaged and challenged.
International education, Spanish academic rigor
Unlike the IB, which often detaches students from the Spanish university system, the Spanish Baccalaureate at Fontenebro offers the best of both worlds: a strong national academic foundation within a truly international environment.
All our students reach Advanced or Proficiency levels in English, participate in global ISP projects (ILOS, Model United Nations, TEDx, research programs, and debate competitions), and receive personalized guidance for international university applications. This ensures they are fully prepared to succeed both in Spain and abroad.

- Direct and simple access to Spanish universities.

- Academic rigor and depth in key subjects.

A strategic choice for your child’s future
The International Baccalaureate is a valid option, but it demands high self-management and is more suited to students focused exclusively on foreign universities. In contrast, the Spanish Baccalaureate at Fontenebro offers structure, guidance, and proven excellence, making it the most complete option for those who seek results, confidence, and a world-class education.
Fontenebro International School: the perfect balance between academic tradition, innovation, and global perspective.
