Brewster Madrid

Brewster Madrid is the international branch of Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, with a Chamberí campus opened in 2023 and a second La Moraleja campus added in 2025. The only school in Madrid offering both Advanced Placement and the IB Diploma.

American curriculum with AP and IB, taught primarily in English with required Spanish from the early years. Senior students can spend a winter or spring trimester at the Wolfeboro campus through the American Experience programme, which is genuinely unusual in the city and a real draw for internationally mobile families. NEASC accredited.

Too new for a thick parent track record, with the senior campus only fully populated in 2025. Early signal points to a gentler academic culture than the most demanding Spanish schools and broader subject choice than most British schools in the city. Newcomers without Spanish are supported through immersive Spanish clubs before and after school. Best fit for American or globally mobile families wanting a US-feel school with the option of an IB exit and the New Hampshire campus link.

• A small American school in Chamberí opened in 2023 by Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, offering both AP and the IB Diploma, which makes it the only Madrid school running both pathways.
• Parents who like it cite a lower-school ratio around fourteen to one, an outdoor play-based approach, and supportive staff. Some say seeing children happy makes the high fees worthwhile.
• A negative strand of parent feedback flags bullying handling and academic backsliding, with one account of a strong maths student falling behind over a near-full year.
• Teacher visibility online is limited but the school is named on international-teacher wishlists, and reviewers raise governance concerns transferred from the New Hampshire parent campus.
• Signal is small in absolute terms because the school is two years old.
