Alonso Santa Gema

Colegio Santa Gema Galgani is a bilingual school in Madrid, located in the Latina district, aimed at educating each student to find meaning in their life and to face change. Its project is structured around four pillars: connection with reality, personal reflection, social interaction, and creative action. The educational offer ranges from 0 years to Bachillerato: Santa Gemita (1 and 2 years), Early Childhood Education (3 to 5 years), Primary Education, Secondary Education, and Bachillerato. Bilingual learning is a cornerstone of its pedagogical approach, with an immersive English environment.

At Santa Gemita, autonomy is prioritized from the early years, along with early stimulation, emotional management, and psychomotor development, featuring neuromotor activities, swimming from the age of two, native English assistants, and music. The methodology is based on project-based learning, with sensory workshops and play facilities. In Early Childhood Education, learning rhythms are respected, and work is based on play, observation, and experimentation, with project-based learning, corner work, manipulative mathematics, and meaningful literacy experiences, in addition to the affective-emotional aspect. In Primary Education, emphasis is placed on competencies such as curiosity, logical and critical thinking, problem-solving, oral and written expression, and a love for reading, with interdisciplinary projects in Spanish and English.

In Secondary Education, the Personal Student Plan ensures individualized monitoring, with individual interviews complementing group tutorials and a Learning Diary where the student sets and evaluates their goals. The Guidance Department supports students throughout this stage and guides them towards higher education and the professional world, promoting the Family School. In Bachillerato, each student has a mentor who provides individualized support and conducts a Research Project (TDI). The center has 10,000 m² of sports facilities, in addition to a swimming pool, library, sports hall, football field, athletics track, laboratory, computer room, auditorium, cafeteria, school garden, chapel, gym, playground, and park, and offers school transport, early risers, extended hours, and extracurricular activities.
