Chemistry Teacher

Holy Mary British Catholic School started as a Nursery School in Madrid through the vision of its founders, Marta and María Riva de Aldama. It was opened to cater for parents who wished their children to have a British style education based on Catholic values. In 2013 the school's secondary section was opened, and our IGCSE and A Level exam results can be viewed on our website, alongside a sample of the university destinations of our pupils. We are the only British Catholic school located towards the centre of Madrid, and we currently have 670 students enrolled. We are committed members of NABSS, CISC and ACADE.
