Purpose, community, wellbeing and ambition

Clubs, societies and the house system

Student-led clubs reflect the passions of our Sixth Formers, from debate and entrepreneurship to creative arts. Our House System, inspired by the British model, builds community across year groups and fosters healthy competition in sports, arts, and academics. These experiences deepen students’ sense of belonging and leadership.

Student leadership and clubs

Community service and charitable engagement

Service is central to our school values. Students participate in volunteer initiatives and organise fundraising events with partner organisations such as Sant’Egidio and ECOALF. These activities promote empathy, global awareness and a deep-rooted commitment to social responsibility.

A commitment to sport and healthy nutrition

Sport is embedded in our curriculum, promoting physical wellbeing and teamwork. Students can choose from football, basketball, padel, and more. Those pursuing high-level competition benefit from our partnership with the European School of Sports, accessing specialist programmes while maintaining academic excellence. Lunch is freshly prepared daily by one of Madrid’s top organic caterers, using only natural, additive-free ingredients. We cater to all dietary needs and maintain high standards of nutritional balance.
