About Aquinas American School


Aquinas American School Madrid is a Catholic, college-preparatory school, that promotes superior academic achievement, mastery of skills and content, and fosters moral citizenship. Aquinas American School offers the U.S. school curriculum as well as the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, preparing students to further their education either in Spain or abroad.

We believe that family is the natural core for the growth and education of children, while school is an indispensable aid for children’s intellectual and moral growth. The school guides a child’s natural desire to learn, helping them understand the reality of things, and to continuously seek answers. Aquinas American School educates by encouraging children's understanding of solid moral values in life. Education is a personal encounter between the student and the teacher.

While every child grows and develops at his or her own unique pace, the teacher is their intellectual and moral reference, explaining and showing the reality, and providing means for new understanding as well as being the first reference for assessment.

The high school campus is much more modern, luxury and welcoming, it has plenty of events and a welcoming environment with top education, however, while the education is also good in the middle school, the facilities are embarrassing for the money payed, no places to sit, have to stand out in the cold, the middle school area consists of about one long hallway etc, I would definitely recommend for high school, and while middle school is far from bad it could definitely improve. Teachers are really good and welcoming overall

They have a great student support services. Strong academics (good IB scores), and conservative values.

Mis hijos están felices en este colegio. Los profesores son muy buenos y comprometidos. Nos quedamos con el teatro y la música en el colegio es fantastico y la profesora Ms Natalie es maravillosa. Mis hijos la adoran y los tiene siempre motivados. Es bueno que en un colegio tradicional tengan también espacio para el arte. Hay un ambiente muy familiar y de buenos valores. Lo recomiendo totalmente. Lo único que podría mejorar son las instalaciones del colegio tanto de juego como de aulas etc. Pero por lo demás vale totalmente la pena.

There are some excellent teachers and a nice parental atmosphere, but top management is focused on the business, not education. It's about getting more paying families at the residence, football, and growing the footprint in the new Malaga school and elsewhere. Very poor treatment of the staff. Top management boasts values but does not really lead by example.

Aquinas American School es un colegio que prepara a los alumnos en todas las competencias necesarias para su desarrollo. Tengo 4 hijos, 3 de ellos ya graduados y en la universidad y ámbitos profesionales, y todos han estado perfectamente preparados académicamente. Su profesorado es muy cualificado, atendiendo no solo al ámbito académico sino al desarrollo integral del alumno. Su oferta deportiva y el desarrollo de las artes y de la música es muy bueno, dando al alumno la posibilidad de desarrollarse completamente y no parcialmente.

I would never suggest anyone attend this school. You pay for your kids to cry as they return home from school because there is so much injustice there!

El colegio se ha centrado en el de Málaga enviando allí al mejor profesorado y ha dejado todo lo demás abandonado. Inglés muy bueno, lo único recomendable ya. Organización inexistente, un caos. Partes y castigos continuos que se traduce en niños desmotivados y asustados. Servicios cero. Comedor cero, pagas para que no coman si pueden o coman mal y frío siempre. Excursiones cero. Fomentan solo el fútbol en deporte. Tarifas aumentadas en un 8-10% sin ningún servicio mejorado, todo lo contrario. Demasiados Alumnos y padres insatisfechos hoy por hoy.

If you are a member of a minority group, I do not recommend attending this school. This school does not treat people of color with respect, and it is full of racism. The faculty is unconcerned with the school's prejudice and doesn't say anything to the xenophobic students. With misogynists, racists, sexists, anti-semitcs, and homophobes, this school has truly displayed its true colors. Is the school concerned? Of course it isn't. This school also does not celebrate BHM, it is supposedly "too controversial". For what reason would it be controversial? The racist students. Good luck if you aren't Spanish and going to this school.

Excelente colegio y excelentes profesores, no cabe la menor duda. Lo único que aconsejaría sería plantearse si el transporte de autobús contratado ofrece las condiciones de seguridad y cumplimiento de las jornadas de trabajo exigibles para que sus trabajores puedan ejercer su profesión con todas las facultades. En dicha página de la empresa reseño como me obligaban a trasladar a todos los niños de casa al cole y viceversa.
