British Montessori

What British Montessori is

British Montessori is a foreign British school authorized by the Community of Madrid, with Los Fresnos in Alpedrete and El Enebral in Collado Villalba. It teaches a UK program from early years through sixth form and adds Spanish language and culture. The responsible company is Los Fresnos Education S.L.

History

The school says it has operated since 1993 and describes itself as the only British school in the Sierra de Madrid; that market-position claim should be checked against current official school listings.
