Colegio Base

Colegio Base is a non-denominational Spanish private school in La Moraleja, founded in 1962 on a 31,000 square metre campus. Around 700 students from age 1 to 18, running both the Spanish Bachillerato and the IB Diploma at exit.

IB Diploma 2024-25 cohort posted a 96 percent pass rate with an average of 31.21 out of 45 and a university entrance score of 11.26 out of 14. Fees from 4,900 euros in early years to 14,500 euros at the top, mid-market for La Moraleja. Bilingual model rather than full English immersion.

Strong emphasis on family integration, with a dedicated Family Coordinator for new arrivals, leadership breakfasts every two months, parent-child lunches three times a week, and parenting workshops through the year. Families describe a school big enough to offer real resources but small enough that staff know children by name. Best fit for Spanish and bilingual families who want both the Bachillerato and the IB Diploma on the table at exit, and who value direct access to leadership rather than an arms-length corporate feel.

• A non-denominational, co-educational private school in La Moraleja founded in 1962, regularly named alongside Liceo Europeo, San Patricio and Brains as one of La Moraleja's main schools.
• Parent reviews on MiCole average 3.7 of 5 across roughly 78 reviews. Strongest praise is for academic level, the orientation department, teacher warmth in early years and a structured anti-bullying programme.
• The most consistent criticism is the same one parents make of most La Moraleja schools: an elitist atmosphere and the feeling that the school monetises everything beyond fees, from materials to excursions to extracurriculars.
• Several parents flag the location: the school is well outside central Madrid, with limited public transport and traffic-heavy commutes during school hours.
• the school is name-checked as part of the standard La Moraleja set rather than discussed in detail; specific parent voice is concentrated on Spanish-language directory and forum sites.
