Welcome to
The English Montessori School (TEMS)

We are a vibrant British private school based in Madrid, offering a tailor-made, holistic education for children aged 1 to 18.

At The English Montessori School, we foster a love for learning, celebrating the unique potential of every student and guiding them on a journey of exploration, growth, and personal development. With a rich legacy in Montessori education and a nurturing environment, we provide the support and inspiration students need to thrive at every stage, so they become caring, independent and confident individuals.

In Pre-University, we proudly offer three distinct academic pathways— the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), the Spanish Bachillerato, and A Levels—empowering students to choose the route that best aligns with their strengths and future aspirations.

Join our warm and welcoming community of passionate educators, supportive families, and engaged learners. We look forward to walking alongside your child as they shape their own path to success at The English Montessori School—where curiosity is encouraged, and dreams are nurtured.

Meet our Headteacher, Jonathan Gunzi

With a visionary and inclusive leadership style, Jonathan inspires a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement, ensuring every student thrives academically and personally.

"Welcome to The English Montessori School, a British school which proudly embraces Montessori values, fostering a learning environment where every child is cared for, encouraged to be independent and empowered."
