The American School of Madrid

ASM welcomes students of all nationalities who desire an American college-preparatory education within a strong international culture.

The School’s diverse student body is one of its special assets.

The American School of Madrid was established as an independent, American, non-profit, college-preparatory school under the form of an Association. It is governed by a Board of Trustees whose primary responsibility is to keep ASM’s founding mission current and viable. The Board is a policy-making group, legally empowered to act on behalf of the School. The Board charts a course of action for the school through the development and adoption of Board policies and decisions.

The by-laws require that the Board is self-perpetuating and that members represent ASM, not a particular constituency. The Board represents a large diversity in talents, including business, financial, professional, and other skills.

The American School of Madrid is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, an American accreditation organization. ASM is also recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Education. This allows Spanish citizens to pursue our unique “Programa Oficial” which provides access to Spanish universities. Certified by the International Baccalaureate Organization, ASM makes available to qualified students the International Baccalaureate Program, which provides access to European and other universities worldwide. All students follow a rigorous curriculum, with English as the language of instruction.
