Welcome to Colegio Europeo de Madrid
Since 1989, our goal has been to develop the skills and abilities of our students in a personalised way, instilling in them a love for learning, curiosity, imagination and creativity.
By teaching students in a bilingual setting and a secure social and emotional environment, we pave the way for students to achieve their goals and overcome the challenges they set themselves.
We want our students to see the world as a place that is full of possibilities in which they can grow as a person and create value and well-being in society.
"Welcome to CEM, a proud member of the IB World community. At our school, we embrace the transformative impact of education and recognise the intrinsic value of each individual."

¿Ajedrez con 3 años? ♟️
Sí. Y lo mejor es que para ellos sigue siendo un juego.
Entre piezas, tableros y mucha curiosidad, nuestros alumnos de 3 años empiezan a descubrir algo más que el ajedrez: aprenden a concentrarse, a pensar antes de mover y a tomar pequeñas decisiones por sí mismos.
Porque en el Colegio Europeo de Madrid creemos que el aprendizaje empieza despertando la curiosidad… incluso con algo tan sencillo como mover un peón.
***
Chess at 3 years old? ♟️
Yes. And the best part is that, for them, it’s still just a game.
Among pieces, boards and plenty of curiosity, our 3-year-old students begin to discover something beyond chess: they learn to focus, to think before they move, and to make small decisions on their own.
Because at the Colegio Europeo de Madrid, we believe learning begins by sparking curiosity… even through something as simple as moving a pawn. ♟️
