Agora Madrid International School

What Agora Madrid International School does

Agora Madrid International School is a private international school founded in 1981 and headquartered in Villaviciosa de Odón, Madrid, Spain, operating as part of the Globeducate group (one of the world's top-5 K-12 education networks with 65+ schools in 11 countries and 40,000+ students). The school delivers a full educational lifecycle from Early Childhood (0-6 years) through Baccalaureate (18 years), including an authorized International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme and Diploma Programme. It uniquely operates Spain's only IB Diploma Programme specialization in Performing Arts and Cinema, developed with Víctor Ullate Roche and Nuria Sánchez, and integrates an official Music Conservatory (Fabordón) on campus enabling Elementary and Professional Music degrees alongside Trinity College London Rock & Pop certifications.

The curriculum is delivered through a multilingual immersion model (Spanish, English, French, German, Mandarin) using tablets, interactive whiteboards, learning management systems, and LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robotics under the proprietary Proyecto GAVEA virtual classroom framework. The school is organized around six core academic stages (Infant, Primary, Secondary, National Baccalaureate, IB Diploma, IB Performing Arts specialization) with add-on modules including the Fabordón Conservatory, Sing & Dance Project performing arts program, Agora Language Academy for adults, summer/holiday camps, FUN Saturdays, the Posidonia Experience, and psychopedagogical services. Partnerships with Cambridge, Trinity College London, Alliance Française, Goethe Institut, WWF, Eco-Schools, and National Geographic Education anchor internationally portable credentials.

Agora Madrid's business model is primarily tuition-driven (subscription, billed annually, stage-specific pricing), supplemented by recurring revenue from extracurriculars, conservatory, performing arts, summer/holiday camps, and Agora Language Academy (€40 enrollment + €65/month). Distribution is direct, via a dedicated admissions team running personalized in-person and virtual visits, school transport services, and the Andorra boarding pathway through the Globeducate network. The school maintains a 58.1% Net Promoter Score, 50+ nationalities represented at international events, and a 100% IB Performing Arts pass rate in 2025.
