Reviews
- Reviews are mixed and the parent pool is mid-sized; Italian-state ownership keeps fees well below Madrid international peers.
- Teachers are widely praised, with parents pointing to a competitive Italian recruitment process and reporting children "contentísimos".
- Bilingual outcomes draw consistent praise, with non-Italian-speaking children reportedly leaving "completamente bilingües" thanks to extra Italian-language support.
- The high school (liceo) draws the harshest critique, described by some parents as chaotic with poor faculty organisation and high dropout rates.
- Some ex-students say grades felt teacher-dependent rather than rubric-driven, with only "3 profesores que merecieran la pena" across 12-13 years.
- Operational complaints repeat: short school day finishing around 14:00, limited canteen places, dated infantil facilities and rising fees.
- Aggregate score sits at roughly across 74 reviews on the main Spanish directory.
