In brief
A Spanish private school in Loeches, east of Madrid near the airport, that runs the British National Curriculum at primary alongside Spanish bachillerato and an American high school track.
British curriculum from ages 2 to 10 with English as the vehicular language and the mandatory Spanish subjects taught in Spanish. From 10 onwards the school combines a Spanish bilingual route with American Middle and High School, so older students can graduate with both the Spanish bachillerato and a U.S. high school diploma. ISO 9001 and Madrid Excelente quality certifications.
The Loeches campus is large, with two pools, a sports hall, music and dance facilities, and grounds parents typically describe as generous. Public review signal is mixed, with consistent praise for academic standards and breadth of programme alongside concerns from some families about communication and management. Best fit for families based east of Madrid who want a multi-track curriculum option at one site, less compelling for households needing a fully anglophone international peer group.
Reviews
- Colegio Montfort sits in Loeches, on Madrid's eastern edge, and parent reviews online are mixed. Aggregate scores cluster around 3.5 to 3.6 out of five across Spanish-language directories, which writers should read as polarised rather than weak.
- Positive reviews praise the green campus, sports facilities (pool, athletic track, tennis courts), small classes and university-entrance results that let students pick their preferred degree paths. Several parents call the teachers attentive and the atmosphere warm.
- Negative reviews focus on consistency of staff conduct. Some former students describe disproportionate teacher reactions and feeling treated harshly, and parents flag inattention in specific situations.
- Cost-versus-value comes up. One critical post calls fees high relative to food quality, and notes that the parts of the campus shown to prospective families on open days are not the parts students use day to day.
