At a glance
Curriculum and academics
St George's teaches the English national curriculum in English from the Early Years Foundation Stage, with native English teachers leading lessons across primary and secondary. Pupils sit IGCSEs at the end of Year 11, then continue to the IB Diploma in the sixth form, so the school pairs a recognisable British academic spine with an international qualification at the finish. Alongside the English programme, pupils take the Spanish language and social studies subjects that the Spanish Ministry of Education requires, which keeps the door open to Spanish universities as well as the wider international route.
The combination of IGCSE and the IB Diploma suits families who want the breadth of the IB at sixth form rather than the narrower three or four subject A level pattern. Families weighing that choice can read our British curriculum guide to see how the English key stages and IGCSEs fit together before the Diploma years, and to decide which sixth form route best matches their child's strengths and university plans.

St George's British International School Madrid fees
St George's sits in the premium band on our Madrid international school fees guide, among the more expensive British options in the north of the city. The school publishes a current fee schedule that rises by stage rather than a single headline figure, so the early years sit well below the sixth form. Treat any quoted number as a published figure that changes each academic year and confirm the current schedule with the school before you commit.
Tuition is only part of the budget. Expect a one time enrolment fee on top of annual tuition, external examination charges for IGCSE and the IB Diploma, and the usual extras of lunches, the school bus and trips. Use our fee calculator to model the full annual cost across the stages rather than the headline tuition alone, and check whether sibling discounts or a deposit apply.
Admissions
St George's recruits mainly for a September start, with the strongest demand in the early years and at sixth form entry into the IB Diploma. The school typically asks for recent school reports and, for older applicants, an assessment or interview to confirm the right year group and, in the sixth form, suitability for the chosen Diploma subjects. Places in the most sought after years fill ahead of the academic year, so families planning a move are advised to apply early.
Mid year entry is reviewed subject to space, which suits families relocating to north Madrid outside the usual cycle. Anyone moving during the school year should contact admissions directly to check availability in their child's year group before assuming a place.
Location and who goes there
The campus sits in the Alcobendas area of north Madrid, inside the residential belt that includes La Moraleja, around the same northern corridor as several other international schools. La Moraleja and the surrounding suburbs are among the most established expatriate and affluent Spanish neighbourhoods in the region, which keeps the commute manageable for many of the families the school serves and clusters demand into a small number of postcodes.
The intake mixes British and other English speaking expatriate families with internationally minded Spanish families who want an English medium route to university, spanning around 50 nationalities in total.
