Three languages from the very first steps

French is part of our everyday life. From age 2, children also explore Spanish and English through activities suited to their age.

Three languages to explore, express ourselves and learn together.

A small school for big discoveries

A welcoming setting where every child belongs. We support their early learning at their own pace, helping them build confidence and independence and feel part of our school.

Something new to discover every day

A song, a story, a game together… Learning is woven into everything we do. Children explore, create and make friends as they discover the world around them.

Family testimonials

Ana G.
★★★★★

A wonderful school for young children, with a dedicated director and ideal management thanks to its small size, and rich in culture. The children leave with excellent French for their age of 6 and a high level of cultural knowledge. Above all, they are VERY well cared for, with flexibility to meet each family’s needs. An outstanding teaching team; we are more than satisfied with their preparation for primary school.

Without a doubt the best school in Madrid for children up to age 6. It runs like clockwork, and children leave happy, with good foundations for what comes next. Simply outstanding.

Angie Enriquez
★★★★★

My daughters went to school happily every day and were always very fond of their teachers and teaching assistants. Teaching is in French, with two hours of Spanish a week. The headteacher, Mathias, is a kind person who is always attentive to the needs of pupils and families. We have nothing but gratitude.
