| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
In the heart of La Moraleja, Madrid, Base International School has been educating students for more than sixty years. But what we now understand as international education, recognised through its status as an IB World School, did not emerge overnight: it is built on strong foundations and a distinctive educational tradition that began in 1962. This combination lies at the heart of Base’s identity: an active learning approach that prioritises the development of skills, a strong multilingual education with English at its core, and a clear commitment to creativity, all while guiding each student from their earliest years through to university. At every stage, students are supported as they grow in independence, without losing the closeness of a family-oriented community where people know one another well. Roots that provide confidence, and an international outlook that opens new paths. This is how education is understood at Base: guiding each student from the strength of an established educational journey and preparing them to face the future with confidence and an open-minded perspective on the world. |
