TU HIJO AL EXTRANJERO offers two different Primary and Secondary School Programmes in Madrid (the capital of Spain) for children aged 10 -18 years.
Our Inbound programs in Madrid are tailored to students from all over the world who want to live in Spain for a term or a school year and learn Spanish. Our local co-ordinator will be in close touch with each student.
We offer them a wonderful time either staying in a school residence or lodging with families. Pupils will enjoy the opportunity to experience a new culture, a different way of life and to make new international friendships whilst learning, improving or developing fluency in another language. It is the perfect combination of classes, communal living and activity for encouraging the desire to learn.
We hold an Orientation Course for our students in Madrid in the first week of September before the beginning of the academic year and organize trips and different activities at weekends during the school year.
What do our Programmes consist of?
Spanish Culture Programme: Our two programmes include Spanish language support, helping the students to improve their fluency in Spanish. We also prepare students to ensure their success in official external Spanish language examinations.
Tailored Programme: Students can individually tailor their own programme, choosing subjects and courses that are the best match for their academic interests. Our co-ordinator helps them in this task.
* School Residence: This programme takes place at International SEK-El Castillo School. The school and residential facilities are located in an exclusive residential area in the north west of Madrid, just 20 minutes from the city centre.
This international school is a bilingual (English-Spanish) private, non-denominational, independent, co-educational school for children from 0 to 18 years of age. Starting from the 5th year of Primary Education the study of a third language is added: French or German.
SEK-El Castillo is a part of the IB® World Schools International Community. The International Baccalaureate® programmes (Primary Years, Middle Years, Diploma programmes) are offered from 3 up to 18 years of age, integrated with the national curriculum. Baccalaureate pupils can choose to do the Baccalaureate Programme under Spanish education legislation (LOMCE), the LOMCE Baccalaureate Programme enhanced with subjects in English from the Diploma Programme or the IB® Diploma Programme in English.
SEK-El Castillo offers a linguistic and cultural immersion programme in 
Spain, “Secondary School Abroad”, aimed at students of between 12 and 18 years of age who wish to study for a term or an academic year in Spain. Students choose the subjects and courses best suited for their academic programme. Children under 12 years of age can also join the school. They will not take part in a special programme for international students but they will mix with the locals as one of them.
