San Patricio has been educating tens of thousands of young people in Madrid since 1958. From the very beginning, our educational model has been a success, incorporating best practices from the most innovative pedagogical approaches, and developing a unique, complete educational project, where every detail is carefully considered. Today, we can proudly say that San Patricio is a school of reference in Spain.
Our dedication to providing top-quality education, researching, and implementing different approaches that enhance students' learning, along with our strong commitment to continuous improvement, has decisively contributed to the constant enhancement of our educational model. This model aims to support our students' development and their acquisition of life skills, especially those that the Spanish curriculum does not sufficiently emphasise, such as emotional abilities, multilingualism, artistic competencies, and health-related habits.
When pupils complete their education at San Patricio, they will successfully achieve four fundamental objectives:
- First, they acquire a robust understanding of the specific contents of the Spanish education system, where History, Geography, and Literature are deemed essential, and other subjects, broader than in other systems, require a high level to enable their acceptance into their preferred university courses, both in Spain and abroad.
- Second, all students attain excellent proficiency, both spoken and written, in the English language, alongside a solid grasp of another foreign language (German or French). The choice of their third language is made with full awareness, as students are continually exposed to both options from the early years.
- Third, students gain additional specific competencies, such as artistic skills, teamwork, efficient and responsible use of communication technologies, advanced public speaking skills, and the habit of regularly engaging in physical activity or sports.
- Lastly, within the Christian values of the Gospel, they develop into free and responsible individuals with discernment, who exert a positive influence in the world around them. Their capacity for interpersonal relationships, grounded in values like loyalty, companionship, sincerity, and respect, will enable them to thrive in an environment of friendships that significantly contribute to their happiness.
I am convinced that what our students achieve in the future will depend to a great extent on the individuals they become. To this end, close collaboration and trust between the family and the school are essential. Maintaining and putting this trust into practice is a top priority and commitment at our school and one of the keys to the success of San Patricio.
Thank you very much for visiting us,
