IB Diploma Programme

St. George School Madrid prepares graduates through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, which corresponds to Sixth Form under British standards. This English-language qualification opens pathways to leading anglophone universities worldwide, while IB examinations are recognized for admission to both Spanish and international institutions. The educational approach centers on holistic personal development, where individual support strengthens not only academic performance but also qualities like confidence, resilience, and independence—essential foundations for university success.

UK and European Universities

Graduates progress to prestigious British universities including Cambridge, UCL, KCL, Durham, Bristol, and Manchester, alongside Bath, Warwick, Glasgow, and numerous other recognized UK institutions. Beyond Britain, students continue their studies at Dutch universities such as Utrecht, Amsterdam, and Groningen, as well as institutions across Belgium, Sweden, Italy, and Germany. Within Spain itself, they choose universities like Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Autónoma de Madrid, Carlos III, and IE University, among others.

University Preparation at St. George School Madrid

Higher education planning begins when students select their IB subjects and start working with a Careers Advisor, who helps build application strategies for both Spanish and international universities while preparing personal statements and discussing what university life entails in different countries. This comprehensive system operates through a team including the IB Coordinator, with access to the full range of resources that equip each student with practical skills alongside academic knowledge for a confident start in higher education.

Support for Spanish University Admission

As a British international school, St. George School Madrid guides graduates through the validation process of IB results for Spanish university entry—a stage requiring both academic and linguistic compliance, where the school accompanies students at every step. The Technical Director handles IB results authentication, ensuring seamless access to university education. Such support proves particularly valuable for families planning to remain in Spain after graduation while preserving options for universities in other countries.
