The decision to make

Spanish Bachillerato
or the IB Diploma Programme.

Base offers two separate Bachillerato programmes, each with its own curriculum, teaching staff and timetable. Both lead to Spanish universities: the Spanish Bachillerato through the PAU (the university entrance exams), and the IB Diploma through official recognition as the Spanish Bachiller qualification (Royal Decree 534/2024) plus the UNED accreditation for university entry.

Worth looking at carefully: in the 2024–25 exam session, the average university entrance score of IB students at Base was 11.26 out of 14, compared with 10.47 for students on the Spanish Bachillerato. They are two different programmes with different levels of demand. The IB asks more. In return, it opens more doors. The right choice depends on each student's profile and on what they want to study next.
New from 2026–27

Arts Baccalaureate: where creative talent has an academic future.

We have been authorised to offer the Bachillerato de Artes (also known as the Artistic Baccalaureate), one of the few available in northern Madrid. It is designed for students who know their path runs through creativity, but who also want a solid academic preparation for university.

Artistic drawing, applied technical drawing, design and art projects form the core of a pathway that opens doors to degrees in Fine Art, Graphic Design, Architecture, Audiovisual Communication and higher arts programmes.
