We are pleased to share with all families that International Education Systems (IES), part of the SEK International Institution, is adding a new school to its educational network: Willoughby International School, located in the city of Madrid, in the Chamartín district. This addition strengthens our Institution’s international presence and expands its reach within a well-established and continuously growing educational network.

Willoughby International School has more than 50 years of experience. Founded in 1972, it was a pioneer in implementing a bilingual model in Spain and has since evolved into an educational project focused on academic excellence and personalized attention. The school offers a comprehensive educational pathway from early childhood through secondary education, in a close-knit environment with small class sizes that support individualized attention for each student.

In addition, the school is committed to innovative methodologies such as project-based learning and the use of digital tools, complemented by a wide range of sports, cultural, and artistic activities that contribute to the students’ overall development.

Joining IES marks a new stage for the school, focused on continuous improvement. Plans include the modernization of facilities, the incorporation of new educational resources, and the promotion of ongoing teacher training, with the aim of continuing to provide high-quality education adapted to today’s challenges.

Likewise, this integration brings a distinctive advantage: access to an international and global education supported by the experience and tradition of excellence of the SEK International Institution, with more than 130 years of history. This journey will enable Willoughby International School to strengthen its educational project, enrich the experience of its students, and open new opportunities for academic and personal development in an increasingly connected and multicultural environment.

We warmly welcome Willoughby International School to the International Education Systems (IES) family. We are delighted to add to our Institution a school with a strong track record and a firm commitment to quality education. We are confident that this addition will enrich our entire educational community and create new opportunities for collaboration, growth, and development for students, families, and professionals.
