What Alegra British & International School does

Alegra British & International School is a private Catholic school located in Majadahonda, in the affluent northwest suburbs of Madrid, Spain, operated by COLEGIO ALEGRA S.L.U. (NIF B86158326). Founded in 2011 by a group of parents seeking high-quality education with Christian values, the school serves children from age 2 through 18 across a continuous educational pathway: the British National Curriculum (Early Years Foundation Stage through Year 6) for younger students, transitioning into the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) for secondary and baccalaureate students. The school is affiliated with Opus Dei as a corporate work and became an authorized IB World School in 2016. It employs 103 staff from 12 nationalities, with 60% being native English speakers, and serves over 600 students across four primary segments: Early Years and Infants, Preparatory School, IB MYP (PAI), and IB Diploma Programme.

The school's core product is the dual British-IB curriculum, augmented by ancillary service lines including Alegra Academy (extracurriculars in sports, performing arts, music, and robotics), Alegra Summer Academy (seasonal camp), school bus transport across 13 Madrid-area routes, on-site dining, library services, and an active Parents' Association (APA). Revenue is generated through recurring annual tuition subscriptions, with supplementary income from extracurricular programs and summer camps. The school maintains a sales-led admissions process with personal tours, information evenings, and entrance assessments, supported by a multi-channel marketing presence including website, social media, and the Alegra Live! news platform. Operations are supported by third-party education management platforms ManageBac (for IB program management) and ClickEdu (for administrative and learning management). Strategic partnerships include the International Baccalaureate Organization, Cambridge English Qualifications, Alliance Française, the Catholic Independent Schools Conference, and a formal convention with Colegio Retamar.
