Colegio La Dehesa de Humanes is a school in Humanes de Madrid with a mixed status: under a state agreement it operates at the kindergarten, primary and compulsory secondary stages, while it runs bachillerato as a private school. Its origin is British: the school grew out of the Santo Ángel British School, which began work in 1968. It calls itself plurilingual and bets on two international routes at once: its IB Diploma Programme is authorised, while it holds the Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes in the applicant category, honestly warning that this category does not guarantee authorisation; on top of that there is the Bachillerato Dual - an American high school diploma alongside the Spanish one. A distinctive and rare feature: the school is a centre of preferential admission for students with special educational needs arising from autism spectrum disorder, and keeps an Aula TEA for them. Of its own initiatives the school names the TEI peer-mentoring programme against bullying, mathematics by the Innovamat method, robotics with programming and mechanics, a reading development plan, a school garden, work with technology and social action. Among its services there are a canteen, the "Madrugadores" early morning group, a uniform, extracurricular activities and a parents' association.

Admissions Kindergarten, primary school and compulsory secondary school operate under an agreement with the state, and the bachillerato is private. Separately the school describes itself as a centre of preferential admission for pupils with special educational needs related to autism spectrum disorder, and keeps an Aula TEA class for them. The school does not describe a step-by-step admission procedure, deadlines, tests or language requirements on its home page, its FAQ page or its services page; its FAQ page is empty. There is nothing there about foreign pupils either.
Stages and year groups Grades kindergarten - 2º de Bachillerato. The stages run consecutively: kindergarten, primary school, compulsory secondary school and bachillerato. The school has a state agreement for the first three stages, bachillerato is private, and the IB Diploma Programme operates within it; the Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes are only being pursued as an applicant.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
IB · DP · authorised programmeOnly the Diploma Programme is authorised at the school. The Primary Years Programme (PEP) and the Middle Years Programme (PAI) are held in candidate status, and the school itself warns that this status does not guarantee authorisation; so programs carries only "IB DP".

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: DP (ages 16-19). 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.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.

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 7 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.
