In 1991, Martine Lafarge created the BEBIN Infant School in Torrelodones, inspired by children’s ability to acquire knowledge and develop skills through the Glenn Doman education programme. The success of her students was clear from the start and this encouraged her to continue investing in human resources and equipment.
From 1993, with the support of a team of professionals led by the Principal Emma Pérez Madorrán, an educational psychologist, we worked on the Educational Project that is currently being implemented in the BEBIN nursery and infant stage of the Colegio Europeo de Madrid.
In 1998, encouraged and supported by the parents of numerous students, Martine Lafarge opened the Colegio Europeo de Madrid, to proceed further with the BEBIN Project, using the same educational process-enhancing methodology, giving students the best chance to develop in different areas of knowledge before going to university.
In 2016 we created EuropeanValley, a digital laboratory designed to incorporate educational technology into lessons and develop digital competence based on real projects and goals.
In November 2018, CEM joined forces with a leading education group, Cognita, with the aim of broadening its students’ opportunities for growth and development through its bilingual approach for children aged between 0 and 18.
The main objective of CEM is to equip its students for the challenges of the future and to help them cultivate the skills and values that allow them to grow and develop in the world to which they belong.
In order to comply with these principles, in addition to relying on proven teaching or learning technique resources, CEM has a number of programs that consolidate the basis of its project. These programs that are known as Personal Growth Programs are:
