Open Day at Fontenebro
Fontenebro International School offers a comprehensive, personalised educational experience for every student, aligned with the qualities, skills and values they will need for the future. We place learning at the heart of everything we do. Our students learn in a welcoming, positive and comfortable environment, supported by teachers who care deeply about their emotional wellbeing as the foundation for successful learning.
We are part of International Schools Partnership, a global group that currently brings together more than 50 schools around the world.
Our aim is learning, understood as the ongoing process of improving knowledge, skills and understanding. We recognise that every student learns in different ways and at their own pace.
Our commitment is to the holistic development of each student, focusing not only on the acquisition of knowledge, but also on the development of skills, talents and abilities, while promoting education in universal values.
We develop social and communication skills, helping students become well-rounded individuals who are able to continue learning throughout their lives. We encourage them to be curious, knowledgeable, respectful and responsible, preparing them to manage their present and shape their own future.
We provide personalised, individualised teaching for each student, adapting to their specific learning needs so they can develop their skills, abilities and self-esteem. We place particular importance on pastoral care and communication with families. Our students work in small groups and benefit from an excellent student-teacher ratio of one teacher for every eight students.
As part of our curriculum, we offer personalised support for students who need additional help to ensure they do not fall behind, as well as for students with strong abilities, with the aim of helping every student make the greatest possible progress. In Primary, this support is provided by a second teacher in the classroom. In Secondary, personalised support is offered in all core subjects, including language, mathematics and English.
What distinguishes us from other schools in the northern area of Madrid are our teaching programmes, the international learning of our school and our individualised teaching.
Emotional education, training in new technologies or training in values are fundamental in our school programmes. Our aim is to provide students with a series of tools with which they can become citizens prepared for the challenges of the future.
We are part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), an association of 47 schools in 17 countries, which allows us to offer our students international experiences that go beyond language learning.
We offer each student what he/she needs at all times, with a personalised education from the first years. Following this method, the student has everything he/she needs during his/her academic development.
Fontenebro International School is a bilingual school with extensive programmes focused on language learning.
Each educational stage plays a crucial role. Our private school in the Sierra de Madrid has developed an educational programme designed around each student’s development throughout every stage of their academic journey.

Educational excellence
Our main objective is to achieve real educational excellence, through personalised teaching and different academic programmes that focus on technical and emotional education.
We work on the digital competence of our students
The use of information and communication technologies is already a reality. To facilitate their access to the working environment of the future, we insist on digital learning and its advantages from the early stages of school.
Personalised learning based on motivation
One of our priorities is to work on the emotional aspect. Each student has a series of personal needs that must be addressed in a common environment, where they can share their experience with other students.
Guidance programmes for students
We put our educational experience at the service of our students through different orientation programmes, we want to help our students to make the best decision for their future.
The best schools in Madrid must offer their students international programs, guidance during all school stages, emotional support and personalised school programmes. Only Fontenebro School assures your children the best educational experience, with programs focused on their needs and their future.
