The new Brighton College schools will be located at:
Brighton College Madrid
Calle Gobelas, Madrid

Both sites have been selected for their strategic positioning within established residential areas, offering excellent transport connections and access to the cultural resources of each capital city. The locations will provide purpose-built facilities designed to support Brighton College’s distinctive approach to education, combining academic rigour with opportunities for creativity, sport and personal development.
Open Mornings for Prospective Families
