Which are the best International schools in Madrid for British expats

Tom,

Did you get some reviews on International schools in Madrid. We're due to relocate in the summer & we're finding it difficult to determine which school is best for us. I'm British with two kids 9 yrs & 12 yrs.

Hi everyone,

I can first help by giving some key advice about schools and family-friendly neighborhoods in Madrid:

- Best schools for expat kids in Madrid: Yes, there is no reliable open information to evaluate each school. Each schools does not want to reveal even their prices. With my experience I have been collecting benchmarking data and I can share with you our map centralizing all the best schools for expat kids in Madrid - the first of its kind: http://g.co/maps/7tchy

- Family-friendly neighbourhoods: According to my experience, I recommend the following family-friendly neighbourhoods detailed in this article: http://moving2madrid.com/where-to-live-in-madrid/neighbourhoods-live-kid....

As you can see, almost all good private schools for expat kids are in the northern part of Madrid and its northern affluent suburbs.Therefore, if you live in:
- an affluent suburb, you will normally find good expat schools within 10-20 minutes by car,
- one family-friendly neighbourhood of Madrid city center, you either have LEK in the center (10-15 minutes) or more choices of schools within 20-30 minutes metro in the north-eastern part of Madrid.

I believe in enabling expats to live their life in this city I love: Madrid. I believe in doing it in a simple, human and remarkable way. I happen to do relocation in a human way because this is what is missing in Madrid.
If you think I can help, I'll be delighted to have a skype chat.

All the best,

I´m from another country, but I´m looking for the same and I haven´t found yet. We can only find "opinions" without any "name" or "data". Only... "if you look, if you search... you may find.. it´s the best to... bla bla bla..." but no names and datas. Nothing really useful.

Yes, your are right there is no reliable open information to evaluate each school.
That's because they do not want to reveal even their prices, and resist all attempts I have made to unifying the datas and reviews - typically spanish.

For past clients of my relocation company, I have been collecting benchmarking data and I can share with you our map centralizing all the best schools for expat kids in Madrid - the first of its kind.

For my clients, I go deeper and then I help to make sure we find the best school according to their criteria, by going to each school, and collected fresh verified data: compare prices, number of pupils per class, mix of locals and foreign students, I contact parents with kids in the school to collect at least 2-3 reviews per shortlisted school.

This takes a lot of work, and needs updating, therefore I do it every year for the schools matching the criteria of my clients.
In a year or two, I hope to create a website with all my results.
For now, all I can do is the interactive map I made of the best schools for expat kids in Madrid according to my reserach for clients: http://g.co/maps/7tchy .
