Hi,
We are moving to Madrid in July and are considering the International College of Spain for our kids, aged 11 and 13. Any comments about this school? Thank you so much!

Have a look at the NABSS website. They are an overseeing body of international schools and certainly for me, I wouldnt entertain a school that wasnt a member

I would usually agree with you - but looking at their website they don't do UK quals, so are really more International than British which is what NABSS is about - British Schools in Spain

I should think that you can check with the IB examining body etc. as to what standards they achieve

and that was even before the second coffee

there must be some sort of organisation that non-British international schools belong to - I shall have a bit of a research later - I have a day off :clap2:

I've found this, which seems to operate along the same lines as NABBS - but for 'International rather than British

the US Embassy also has a list of American schools in Spain
