ADMISSIONS
Interncional Aravaca belongs to the ISP Schools chain, the largest group of private international schools in Spain, offering the highest quality education, backed by objective results, with more than 6,000 students throughout Spain.
ISP schools are part of the expanding ISP “International Schools Partnership” network of schools, with over 85 schools worldwide in countries such as Spain, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Mexico, UK, Italy, France, Canada, USA etc., throughout Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and Asia. Students from ISP schools also have the opportunity to enjoy trips and experiences of cultural and educational exchange between their own schools and other European collaborating centres.
Since 2008, Internacional Aravaca has been offering a unique educational project in the north of Madrid, with a clear international and multilingual vocation, for children from 2 to 18 years of age. We teach the Spanish curriculum with a large teaching load in English and with the IB methodology of the International Baccalaureate PYP and MYP, also incorporating a third language – French or German – from the 5th year of Primary.
We have extensive experience in the process of adaptation of students entering the school for the first time: we know how to make them feel welcome and at home from the very first moment, regardless of their age or nationality.
A team of highly qualified teachers works with our students, offering each student an absolutely personal and individualised treatment, which allows us to encourage the development of each student’s abilities, skills and talents to the maximum.
Thank you for your interest in our school and we would be delighted to arrange an appointment to explain our educational project, visit the classrooms and show you our facilities. I am at your disposal for any clarification and to attend to you in a personalised way at the school.

Director of Admissions
Admissions Process
Our doors in the Admissions department remain open throughout the year, looking forward to the opportunity to welcome you into our school community, regardless of the season.
The admissions process follows a structured approach to ensure a smooth transition for your child into our educational environment:
1. Contact us
Please reach out to us to schedule a visit to our school or to arrange a virtual call, especially if you are currently abroad.
2. School Tour/Virtual Call
This stage provides us with the chance to meet you and your child, allowing a deeper understanding of your child’s needs and interests. We will delve into our curriculum and show you our facilities, providing you with a glimpse into our amazing learning environment.
3. Assessment/Taster Day
We may request your child’s previous school report (if applicable) and organize placement tests if necessary. Furthermore, we may invite your child to a taster day at our school, allowing them to immerse themselves in our community.
4. Acceptance
Upon successfully completing the assessment process, you will receive an offer in writing, giving you a fixed period (between 5 to 10 days), during which we will reserve a place for your child as you proceed with the registration process.
5. Enrolment
Congratulations! Your family is now part of our School Community.
You can go to the centre’s website https://internacionalaravaca.edu.es/en/contact/more-info/ and we will contact you immediately or call us and arrange an appointment with Valle Ramos, our Director of Admissions & Marketing +34 913571256.
We will arrange a personal tour of the centre to get to know our working methodology and all our facilities with the Director of Admissions. For students from 2nd Primary onwards, we also carry out an interview and entrance test with the Coordinator of the corresponding stage, being necessary to provide the student’s academic information from previous years.
In order to guarantee a reduced number of students in the classroom and given the limited number of places available, once the visit has taken place we will send you a formal offer of a place which you will be able to accept by paying the registration fee. At this point the place will be guaranteed. Afterwards, you can send us all the forms and documentation requested.
