This entry covers the International Section of the Swedish International School of Madrid, in Alcobendas, formerly the Scandinavian International School. The school runs two sections: the Scandinavian section, which follows the Swedish curriculum and teaches in Swedish, and the International section, which follows the Cambridge programme and teaches in English. Both cover Early Childhood Education, Primary, Secondary and Bachillerato. The school takes children from 18 months to 18 years, and in the International section no previous knowledge of English is required at ages 2 to 3. It is a small school of around 400 pupils, owned and run by a non-profit association of the parents of its pupils, and classes are usually small, which the school links to a high teacher density and personalised teaching. Pupils from the two sections frequently come together in activities during and after the school day.

Educational principles
The school's Scandinavian approach to the learning of children and young people is based on the belief that each person is unique and that every pupil has the right to develop according to their own capabilities; a high teacher density and individualised teaching are the means it uses to let pupils grow at their own pace. It promotes lifelong learning and holds that joy and self-confidence are the basis of good academic results. It also works with a music profile, which it says characterises the whole school from the youngest pupils to the oldest.
School values
Working from a Scandinavian base of values means the school attaches importance to democracy, sustainability, innovation, creativity and free thinking, equality, transparency and respect for dissent, and it states that these values run through the whole organisation. It believes every pupil is unique and entitled to care and respect in a safe and stable environment, encourages pupils to think for themselves and express their opinions, and teaches them to respect different points of view, to respect their surroundings and nature, and to empathise with others.

Where an applicant does not meet the language requirements for the year group applied for, the school offers a place provided the teacher judges that with the help of additional language classes the pupil will reach, during the school year, the level needed to work properly in class. In those cases the offer is conditional on the pupil showing potential and enrolling on the English Language Support programme.
