SEK International School Program
SEK El Castillo International School is located northwest of Madrid, in the Villafranca del Castillo urbanization (Villanueva de la Cañada, Madrid), a residential area just 20 minutes from the city center.
A private, non-denominational, independent, and mixed school founded in 1972 with students from 4 months to 18 years old. It is a bilingual center (Spanish-English) with additional languages (French, German, and Chinese) and native teachers.
Its opening hours are from 9.30 to 17.30 (adapted for athletes). It implements the following International Baccalaureate Programs: Primary Years Program (PYP), Middle Years Program (MYP), and Diploma Program (DP), with the possibility of male and female student residence.
SEK-El Castillo School’s primary objective for sports students is that they can combine their studies with sports, obtaining the best academic and sporting results. We have demonstrated this for years with the agreement with Real Madrid C.F., in which players from its youth team (football and basketball) study at our center, as do athletes from the SEK International Sports Academy Program.
The school has three study possibilities: English, Spanish, and Bilingual.
