**THE SCHOOL**

International College Spain is an international community school that is committed to giving every child an authentic global learning experience.

The school was founded in 1980 by the late entrepreneur and philanthropist, Manouchehr Farhangi, and has grown to become one of the leading international schools in Spain offering three IB programmes in English. We are accredited and evaluated by the International Baccalaureate Organisation, NEASC, CIS, the Spanish Ministry of Education and our governing body, Nord Anglia Education.

The ICS campus is located just 10 minutes north of Madrid in a safe, gated community suburb called La Moraleja. Our students come to us from over 70 different nations. They receive an authentic international experience within a diverse student community, from educators who have truly international expertise.

The school is part of the global group Nord Anglia Education which brings a variety of advantages and enables us to collaborate with other students, teachers and schools within the group as well as with prestigious institutions like Juilliard and MIT. From the Tanzania Expedition to the UNICEF Global Challenge projects; all Nord Anglia Education schools and their students can learn with and from others within the group via an online virtual learning platform called Global Campus**.**
