Our vision is to ensure students are equipped to succeed at school, university and in life beyond. We want students to enjoy school, fulfil their academic potential and develop the skills and attributes they will need once they leave education: to work as part of a team, empathise with others, speak multiple languages, think critically and so on.

At Hastings we explicitly design our approach to education to help students develop these attributes and emerge ready to face the next phase of their life with confidence.

At Hastings we aim to ensure that our students achieve excellent academic results and are able to access the best global universities. However, the way we do this is important. Learning should be an enjoyable, dynamic experience where students are challenged, required to solve problems and become accustomed to working with other people.

We're proud of our reputation for academic excellence. We're even prouder of our students.

Hastings School is made of six different campuses, all located in the heart of Madrid. Three of these are in the district of Chamartín, each around five minutes walking from the others. The other three are situated in Arturo Soria and Conde Orgaz.

All of our school campuses can be easily accessed both by public transport and on foot.

At Hastings School, our students experience an authentic British international education with native teachers who are trained to ensure that students both enjoy their learning and thrive academically.

There is a consistent educational philosophy that runs through the school, whether a child is 5 or 15 years old. Lessons are dynamic with students actively involved in their learning, discussing with others and solving problems.

Students are challenged to think for themselves and grapple with concepts, rather than having the teacher simply give them the answer.
