Applications are now open for all year groups from Pre-prep to Year 9.
At Brighton College Madrid, our Pre-Prep is a place of discovery, kindness, and joyful learning. From the very earliest years, children are encouraged to explore the world around them with curiosity and confidence.
Each day is carefully designed to inspire curiosity and enjoyment. Specialist teaching, including languages and creative subjects, enriches the curriculum, while outdoor learning plays an essential role in supporting both physical development and imagination.
Our classrooms are purposeful and stimulating, where children are encouraged to ask questions, take risks in their learning, and develop independence. By the end of Pre-Prep, pupils are not only well-prepared academically, but also confident, happy, and excited about the journey ahead.
A culture of kindness will be at the heart of a Brighton College Madrid education - all pupils are treated as individuals, will be encouraged to respect each other, and nurtured to become the best version of themselves.
We know that young people who are happy are young people who thrive. We believe the best way of achieving a happy and content community is to instil a culture of kindness, ensuring that everyone feels valued for who they truly are.
We want our pupils to be first-class versions of themselves, not second-class versions of someone else, and we place great emphasis on acceptance and mutual respect.
Our pupils know that there is a whole world beyond the classroom, and we encourage them to remember that they are a part of society, not apart from it.
We know the attitudes pupils develop at school will remain with them throughout their lives, and so we foster a culture in which our pupils appreciate their responsibility towards other members of society.
Pupils at Brighton College Madrid will lead the charge in the fight against climate change.
This means that sustainability is considered in every part of school life. It influences everything we bring into the school to function well, from energy and water to food and stationery, and what happens to all these items after we are finished with them. It guides the behaviours we all champion, from what we choose to eat to the clothes we wear and the actions we decide to take. It also steers the way we nurture well-rounded pupils, through the lessons we teach and the active lifestyles and diets we encourage.
We understand that these first experiences of school shape a child’s lifelong relationship with learning. Our vision is to have every child feel safe, valued, and known as an individual because of our nurturing environment. Through a carefully balanced combination of structured teaching and purposeful play, pupils develop strong foundations in communication, early literacy, and numeracy.
Kindness is at the heart of everything we do. We place great importance on building positive relationships and helping children to understand themselves and others, fostering a strong sense of belonging from the very start.
