GSD Las Rozas is a school of the Madrid cooperative Gredos San Diego in Las Rozas, opened in the 2007/2008 school year; the cooperative, founded in 1985 by eighteen teachers and staff, runs ten schools in the Community of Madrid and a school in Costa Rica. The school takes children from a few months old to eighteen: a nursery from the baby group under one year, infant school, primary and secondary, and bachillerato - science and humanities, the American dual diploma and the IB Diploma Programme. Its status is mixed: from three to sixteen the stages are state-funded (concertada), while the nursery and bachillerato are fee-paying. The school runs the IB Diploma Programme as an authorised IB school, one of two in the cooperative together with GSD International School Costa Rica; for the Middle Years Programme the IB page calls it a candidate, while a cooperative news item in June 2026 announces that Las Rozas has received official authorisation for the MYP. Teaching is bilingual, Spanish and English, and French is the second foreign language from the third year of primary. The school publishes its prices and results: in 2025-2026, 79 leavers sat the EvAU, all passed, with an average mark of 7.1. Swimming is part of the school day, and there is the school's own kitchen, the EducaSalud health and psychological service and a large range of paid clubs run by the GSD sports club and arts centre.

Admissions Admission to the state-funded stages from three to sixteen follows the procedure of the Community of Madrid: the ordinary application period runs from 11 to 25 March, lists of admitted pupils are published on 27 May 2026, enrolment runs from 11 June 2026, and an extraordinary period opens from 26 March. The nursery (ages 0-3) and bachillerato, including the IB, are fee-paying, and the school admits to them itself, through an enquiry form and the nursery admissions portal; on enrolment in bachillerato and the IB a non-refundable place reservation is paid. The school says nothing about foreign pupils or special conditions for them.
Stages and year groups Grades nursery from age 0 - 2nd year of bachillerato (age 18). The nursery is the first cycle of infant school: a baby group under one year, groups of one- and two-year-olds; the second cycle covers ages 3, 4 and 5. Then come primary, ESO with a choice of pathways in the fourth year, and bachillerato: science (biomedicine, science and technology), humanities and social sciences, the American dual diploma and the IB Diploma Programme. In the IB the school is authorised for the Diploma Programme; the IB page calls the Middle Years Programme an application, while a cooperative news item from June 2026 calls it an authorisation received. The IB has no more than 20 pupils per class; subjects: Spanish A, English A and B, French B, business, history, environmental systems, biology, chemistry, physics, two mathematics courses and visual arts.

IBInternational Baccalaureate
A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: MYP (ages 11-16), DP (ages 16-19). MYP is the middle stage, ages 11 to 16. There are no exams here either; at the end an optional electronic assessment of pupils' work is possible. DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.

Gredos San Diego (GSD) is the school network of Gredos San Diego Sociedad Cooperativa Madrileña, a co-operative founded in 1985 by 18 members. It is a worker co-operative whose members are the teachers, administration and service staff themselves; according to the network, it employs more than 1,700 people, 1,100 of whom are co-operative members. The co-operative runs ten schools in the Community of Madrid: GSD Alcalá, GSD International School Buitrago, GSD El Escorial, GSD Guadarrama, GSD Las Artes, GSD Las Rozas, GSD Las Suertes, GSD Moratalaz, GSD Valdebebas and GSD Vallecas. Outside Spain the network names GSD International School Costa Rica, opened in 2018, and GSD International School in Pouma, Cameroon, a social responsibility project of the GSD Foundation and Fundación Abriendo Caminos. The network describes its schools as secular. The network's site is gsdeducacion.com.
What this means for this school. The network owns or operates the school. Its accreditation and programme authorisation the school obtains separately, in its own name.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
