Madrid Student

Many expat students in Madrid attend international schools. Many international schools encourage expat families to enlist their children well before the beginning of the school calendar. Children are better off with international schools because they have more experience in educating students who have formerly studied different curricula.

If you want to catch a glimpse of the popular picture of expat education in Spain, watch the 2002 film, L’Auberge Espagnole. It provides a realistic account of foreign students adapting to the Spanish way of life, as well as the courtesies and cultural norms imposed in an entirely different culture.

The only schools in Madrid that use English as the medium of instruction are international and foreign private schools. Numerous multilingual international schools in the city also teach students in both Spanish and English. If you decide to send your children to regular schools, make sure that they speak Spanish as these schools will require them to study their subjects in Spanish.
