In Brief
St. George is a solid option for families settling in north or northeast Madrid who want a proper British school with IB Diploma and a campus that feels like a school rather than an office block. Fees are notably more affordable than the La Moraleja cluster, and all-in pricing - fees include lunch, books and insurance - makes budgeting straightforward. Administration is the area most worth probing at interview.
St. George sits in the Hortaleza-Valdefuentes area of north Madrid, about 20 minutes by car from the city centre and considerably closer for families based in the northern suburbs. The school has around 840 students from over 45 nationalities, with roughly 65% Spanish and 35% international - a noticeably higher Spanish proportion than some of the La Moraleja schools, which makes it a practical option for mixed-nationality households and long-term residents. The British curriculum runs from age 2 through IGCSE, and the final two years offer the IB Diploma Programme in English, which provides university access to both Spanish and international institutions.
One of the most useful features of this school is what the fees include: lunch, textbooks, school materials and medical insurance are all bundled into the annual tuition. That removes several line items that add up at other schools and makes year-on-year cost comparison more honest. Fees run from EUR 8,580 for Pre-Nursery to EUR 18,610 for IB Diploma - cheaper than ICS and ASM, and more affordable than Runnymede at senior levels. The campus has a swimming pool, astro-turf pitch and dining room with an in-house kitchen, which is above average for a school at this price point in Madrid.
Two reviews available on International Schools Database score the school at 3.3 out of 5 overall. The common thread: teachers are well regarded and the school atmosphere is friendly, but administration has drawn criticism in both reviews. One reviewer from 2024 described it as 'quite incompetent' specifically on administrative matters. Two reviews is a thin sample, but the consistency is worth noting - confirm the admissions and pastoral administration experience with current families before enrolling, particularly if you are likely to need responsive support during transitions.
What parents value
- –All-inclusive fee structure: annual tuition covers lunch, textbooks, school materials and medical insurance. Genuine total-cost transparency that is uncommon among Madrid's international schools at this price level.
- –Part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), giving students access to cultural exchanges, collaborative projects and competitions across 80+ schools in 20+ countries. IB Diploma alongside British curriculum provides both Spanish and international university access.
Points of consideration
- –The school is in the Hortaleza district of north Madrid, not central. Families living south of the city or in Retiro and Salamanca districts are looking at a meaningful commute - confirm the school bus route covers your area before visiting.
- –Administration is worth testing at the enquiry stage. Multiple reviews flag this specifically. How quickly they respond to your initial enquiry and how clear the fee schedule is during the admissions process will give you a reasonable read on what day-to-day administration is like.
