La Enredadera Vivencial is an active-pedagogy school in the market gardens outside Murcia that grew out of an association: the project began in 2013 as a group of families and became a pre-school and primary school in the 2019/20 school year, when it moved into a new building. The school describes its recognition as twofold - the Consejería de Educación of Murcia and NEASC. Teaching is in Spanish, English lives in the everyday environment of the centre and part of the teaching team speaks English with the community; there is also an after-school "experiential English". There are two age groups: Marigueballo from three to six and Casa Verde, the primary group. The place matters more here than the programme: a two-storey house, a garden and vegetable plot of more than a thousand square metres, a yurt for workshops and psychomotor work, and a laboratory on the upper floor. The day is short - 9:00 to 14:00 - with an early-morning service before it and a lunch service until 16:00 after it.
Key facts
Languages of instruction
Spanish
Admissions The school does not describe its admission conditions on a page of their own; it invites families to leave their details through a form and stresses that families are the basis of the project and take part both in the daily life of the centre and in running it. The site gives no deadlines, introductory meetings, language requirements or rules for families from other countries.
Stages and year groups Grades Marigueballo ages 3-6 - Casa Verde, the primary group. Two age groups: Marigueballo from three to six and Casa Verde, the primary group, within which a six-to-eight subgroup is named separately. The ordinary day runs from 9:00 to 14:00; there is an early service from 8:00 to 9:00 and a lunch service from 14:00 to 16:00. The school follows the school calendar of the city of Murcia.
Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
NEASC · accreditationschool is in an official registryconfirmed by a school document, by membership or by taking part in a networkclaimed by the school, no confirmation, not counted in the scoreGuide to all organisations → What stands behind each entry
NEASCNew England Association of Schools and Colleges
An American accreditation working since 1885. For international schools it uses an approach where the visitors look first at live lessons rather than at folders of paperwork: the team works in the school for about a week. It is the only one here whose public directory honestly separates accredited schools from candidates.
What the badge means for this school. The school has been through this organisation's accreditation. It was judged as a whole: governance, safeguarding, staff, premises, teaching. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →Montessori
The pedagogy of Maria Montessori: a child chooses the activity, works at their own pace with special materials, and mixed-age groups are arranged so that older children teach the younger ones. It is used most often in the nursery and primary stages.
What this means for this school. The name Montessori belongs to nobody: any school may call itself a Montessori school, and there is no single body that checks this. There are associations that train teachers and recognise schools, but membership of them is voluntary, and our entry means exactly that the school describes itself this way. This pedagogy has no leaving certificate, so what to look at is what the school finishes with.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
The school publishes nothing about where its leavers go: no share going on to university, no exam results, no list of universities.

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.
