Welcome to TEMS
We are a vibrant British private school based in Madrid, offering a tailor-made, holistic education for boys and girls, aged 3 to 17.
At The English Montessori School, we foster a love for learning, valuing the unique qualities of each child and guiding them through a journey of exploration and personal development. With a strong foundation in Montessori education spanning decades, we provide a secure and inspiring environment to support students in reaching their goals.
Why TEMS?
The English Montessori School is dedicated to nurturing caring, confident, and independent individuals.
Our commitment extends beyond academic excellence to the holistic development of each child entrusted to us. We are not just shaping futures; we are cultivating a community where every child is empowered to reach their fullest potential and embrace a future filled with confidence, compassion, and limitless possibilities.
Exceptional facilities and innovative learning environments
DISCOVERY HOUSE - is more than a mere building; it's a dynamic space crafted for children aged 3 to 6. Our Nursery and Reception students embark on a journey grounded in the Montessori method, laying robust foundations in phonics, fine motor skills, and social-emotional development.
EXPLORER - Our new campus in Madrid, opening soon, offers an exciting educational future for students aged 7 to 17, set in a green environment that fosters a deeper connection with nature. Green spaces and outdoor areas create a school set amidst the outdoors, complementing our commitment to taking learning outside.
British Curriculum and Montessori Philosophy
The British curriculum drives academic excellence and a global mindset, while Montessori nurtures individuality, creativity, and a love for learning.
We stand as a unique British Curriculum School deeply rooted in the Montessori Philosophy. This distinctive approach begins in Early Years, where the foundations are laid, and extends seamlessly through Primary and Secondary education. The journey culminates in a dual pathway in Sixth Form, offering students the choice between British A-Levels or Spanish Bachillerato.

We are a vibrant international community that values diversity and cherishes a global perspective. TEMS is part of Cognita Schools group, a diverse global community of over 100 schools across five regions.
Our commitment to fostering an international outlook is at the heart of our educational ethos, shaping an environment where we welcome students from every corner of the globe.
