International College Spain (ICS) was founded in 1980 by the late entrepreneur and philanthropist, Manoucher Farhangi, and thanks to him has grown to become one of the leading international schools in Spain. It is a day school offering primary and secondary education, in English, to boys and girls of all nationalities from 3 to 18 years old. ICS is the only school in Spain offering a full international curriculum throughout the whole range (Kindergarten to Grade 12), by means of the three prestigious International Baccalaureate Programmes, administered in Geneva, Switzerland. The Diploma Programme leads to the IB Diploma and the ICS Graduation Diploma in Grade 12, the Middle Years Programme leads to the MYP certification in Grade 10 and the Primary Years Programme is offered in the Primary school. The IB Diploma Programme is widely recognised as the passport for entry to the best universities throughout the world.

The College campus is situated in three hectares of land in La Moraleja, 10km north of the centre of Madrid. The teaching staff is multinational, experienced and fully qualified. The school year, from September to June with Winter and Spring breaks, is divided into three academic terms.

The College has no religious or any other affiliation and is governed by an independent Board of Trustees. It is a recognised centre of the examinations of the International Baccalaureate Organisation and is accredited by both the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and the Council of International Schools. ICS is approved by the Spanish Ministry of Education as a foreign school for the education of both Spanish and foreign students.
