Like a fair number of schools in La Moraleja, this institution is run like a business and not as an institution for education. There is very little support for students and the school does not handle challenges well at all. There is an alarming amount of class bullying that goes unabated. The people in admissions come off as arrogant. The class sizes are enormous and the classrooms themselves are cramped and not well equipped. Just a really poor institution.

This school tries to upsell you in the primary years, but as time goes by the quality of the parents, teachers and student body begins to show. By the time kids are 8 or 9, they have to resort to the use of tutors or use of extra help to stay afloat which is really reflective of the poor academics. Fundamentally, there are a lot of non-native teachers, and the student to teacher ratio is extremely high. This is notwithstanding that it is the most expensive school in Spain. What this translates to, is poor english language skills for most of the students (just sit around and listen them speak), and poor academics. Bullying and abuse is a constant, which a mixed bag of parents from all walks of life, and in many cases questionable ones. Whether the bullying starts at the school is. is fed from home is probably a good question, as you will face the same conduct from parents who tend... read full review

Good sports facilities. On the downside, things are chaotic in this school, especially anything that has to do with administration. The counselling department in the secondary school is deficient and staffed by incompetent personnel.

My parrents went to this school so this is how I ended up here. however the school is not the same as when my parrents were here. there is little personal attention, a weak Spanish department, and not as much discipline as in my last school. Counting days before I graduate!

Hi Sam, it is a shame you should feel that the school has changed in a negative way, it is surprising, as we are constantly developing and innovating to ensure the students receive a first class education with specific emphasis on personalised attention. We look forward to hearing more feedback from you, we do not recall recent graduates whose parents attended ICS. Do get in touch. info@icsmadrid.org read full reply

few years ago my kids were at this school. The school location was ideal and they have good facilties. However, in spite of this we decided to move our kids to another school. lack of discipline, and lack of personal attention, specially if your child needed extra help (counselling) made us decide that a change was needed.

As a student of this school, I think it a very friendly environment for students where they can build their skills as I think they don't teach us to memorize for exams but they teach so we can stand on our own two feet when we grow up.

Best Regards.
