A unique campus city with residence

Our student-centred campus, located in the heart of Madrid, includes innovative spaces that enable the use of new teaching methods and technologies. Furthermore, international students can take full advantage of a newly refurbished residence, which is a mere ten-minute walk from the college.

Our alliance with IE university

We are proud to have a strategic alliance with IE University, one the world’s leading higher-education institutions that shapes leaders with a global vision, clear entrepreneurial spirit and a human approach. This partnership gives us a unique insight into the education and skills that students require to head out into the world.

Why work with us?

Starting a school is an opportunity to create something that lasts. We want people passionate about education who are unafraid of risk, innovation or technology. We want to disrupt the way people see education and deliver something truly valuable for our students; a preparation for the next 20 years.

A start up school requires teachers who are interested in education beyond their own subject; who have ambitions to lead in schools, who want to get involved. The opportunities for personal, professional development are massive and we will be ensuring a substantial budget is set aside for accredited courses with either IB or our partner IE University.
