Choosing a school is a big decision, and visiting in person can help you understand much more than a website ever can. A St. George Madrid school tour gives you the opportunity to see learning in action, explore the campus, meet teachers and leaders and ask questions about your child's education and wellbeing.
If you're planning an international school tour in Madrid, a little preparation can help you make the most of your visit.
A school tour is more than a walk around the campus. It is an opportunity to get a feel for the school's learning environment, values and community.
Before your visit, think about what matters most to your family. You may want to understand the curriculum, class sizes, languages, academic support, extracurricular opportunities or how the school supports your child's individual interests.
Making a simple school tour checklist can help you remember the questions that matter most.
St. George Madrid is a British international school in Madrid offering a learning journey from Early Years through to Sixth Form. Students follow the English National Curriculum, with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) integrated into Primary, while older students progress towards IGCSEs and the IB Diploma.
As part of International Schools Partnership - ISP, the school is connected to a global community of schools, creating opportunities for students to learn, collaborate and engage with perspectives beyond their local community.
Before your St. George Madrid campus tour, take some time to explore the school's curriculum and learning journey. This will help you ask more specific questions when you visit.
You may also want to review the admissions process, tuition fees and curriculum options before your tour.
Every child learns differently. Before your visit, consider your child's strengths, interests and areas where they may need additional support. Discuss this with your child too – what are they most interested in and where would they like more help?
During your St. George Madrid school tour, ask how teachers understand individual students and adapt learning to help them progress.
Through ISP's Learning.First™ approach, students are encouraged to take an active role in their learning, reflect on their progress and grow the confidence to make decisions about how they learn. Ask how teachers help students understand their strengths, set goals and take greater ownership of their learning journey.
Our personalised approach to learning means that students are supported according to their individual needs and talents.
At St. George Madrid, our facilities include science laboratories, an ICT suite, theatre, drama and music spaces, a library and sports and recreation areas.
As you walk around the school, consider how each space supports learning - this is something you can ask the school team about too.
During an international school tour, you might notice:
Our school team are happy to explain how teachers measure progress and how we support students who need additional help or greater challenge.
You could ask:
St. George Madrid's secondary students follow a British curriculum leading to IGCSE examinations, with the IB Diploma offered in Sixth Form.
For many international families, language learning and opportunities outside academic lessons are an important part of choosing a school.
Ask about the languages your child will learn, as well as sports, creative activities, clubs and other enrichment opportunities.
St. George Madrid's secondary students can choose French or German as a foreign language. As part of International Schools Partnership - ISP, the school also offers a range of extracurricular opportunities designed to develop teamwork, leadership and creativity.
Academic achievement is only one part of a child's school experience.
When thinking about what parents should ask about student wellbeing during a school visit, consider asking:
See where your child will learn, play and spend their school day.
Look at the classrooms, specialist facilities, sports areas and shared spaces. More importantly, notice how students and teachers interact with one another.
Ask yourself - does this feel like an environment where my child could become curious and confident?
One of the most valuable parts of a school visit is meeting the people who will support your child every day.
Ask teachers about their approach to learning and how they build relationships with students. St. George Madrid’s team of qualified teachers and leaders focus on helping students develop both academically and personally.
For families considering how to evaluate teachers and school community during a school tour, pay attention to how openly teachers communicate and whether they take the time to understand your family's questions and priorities.
Once your visit is over, take a little time to reflect.
Think about what you saw, what you heard and how the school made you feel. Compare this with the priorities you identified before your visit.
Ultimately, choosing the right school in Madrid for your child comes down to finding a learning environment that fits your child's needs, interests and future ambitions.
A school tour gives you the opportunity to experience that environment for yourself.
Book a personalised tour and discover whether St. George Madrid is the right fit for your child and family.
Before your visit, think about your child's learning needs, interests and future plans. Prepare a short list of questions about the curriculum, academic support, languages, wellbeing and extracurricular opportunities. You can also review the school's admissions process and learning journey beforehand.
Look beyond the facilities. Pay attention to how teachers interact with students, whether children appear engaged in learning and whether the environment feels welcoming and supportive. Consider how well the school's approach matches your child's needs.
Ask about the curriculum, academic progress, personalised learning, languages, student wellbeing, extracurricular activities and communication with parents. It is also useful to ask about the admissions process and what happens at each stage.
Ask how the curriculum develops as your child progresses through school, what qualifications they will work towards and how the curriculum prepares students for future university options. At St. George Madrid, students follow the English National Curriculum, with progression towards IGCSEs and the IB Diploma.
Observe the classrooms, specialist facilities and shared spaces, but also watch how students and teachers interact. Think about whether the environment encourages curiosity, collaboration, independence and confidence.
Families can arrange a personalised on-campus tour through the St. George Madrid admissions team. Virtual options are also available for families who cannot visit in person. Contact the admissions team to know more.
St. George Madrid follows the English National Curriculum, enriched by the International Primary Curriculum in Primary. Students progress towards IGCSE examinations in Secondary and the IB Diploma Programme in Sixth Form.
