Deputy Principal

Laude Fontenebro School is a Spanish independent school, located an hour outside of Madrid, which follows the Spanish national curriculum alongside the International Primary Curriculum in its Primary section. The School’s mission is to provide a comprehensive, quality education which develops the knowledge, skills, talents, values and potential of each and every student in order to give them the tools to thrive in a world of constant change and challenges.

The school has a strong commitment to the holistic development of its students with the aim of developing their curiosity and creativity and a culture of lifelong learning. It aims to promote multilingual learning and an open, global mindset that enables students to function in international and multicultural environments. It also aims to develop communication skills and social skills, and to inspire and encourage each and every student to develop a passion for learning. 

Laude Fontenebro School’s education is based on tradition, social responsibility, and ethical values, all of which are necessary in today's society, and their aim is to strengthen these values at all levels. Working with these values on a daily basis affords children a conscience, that promotes the acquisition and creation of important habits such as discipline, work, study, order, critical thinking, freedom and respect.

Colegios Laude is a group of private schools in Spain offering a high quality, multi-lingual education from 1-18 years of age. With almost 5,500 students in seven prominent locations, the schools count as the largest group of international schools in Spain. Each school offers the highest quality education within secure, well-equipped facilities with a purpose to nurture each child to be an independent learner equipped to thrive in a challenging global world. The schools rank amongst the top private schools in the country with students progressing to the best universities in Spain and around the world.

Colegios Laude are owned by the International Schools Partnership (ISP), a growing family of schools which currently also owns Cambridge International School in the UK and Reach British School in Abu Dhabi, and has plans in process to acquire more schools around the world over the coming years. ISP has a clear aim to put the child’s learning at the core of everything it does. The group’s core purpose is defined as: having the passion for learning that leads to each child’s success in the classroom and beyond; inspiring each curious, creative and confident child to flourish; equipping each child with the knowledge, skills and motivation to succeed; and nurturing each child to develop the character and values to thrive in a challenging world.
