About the Company
Virtus College, The British Sixth Form, is the first Sixth Form College in Spain, offering a British education in small class sizes and year groups. Founded in 2016, we have built a distinctive educational model centred on academic excellence, personal development and a highly personalised approach to teaching and mentoring.
Over the past nine years, Virtus has grown significantly and now operates from a state-of-the-art campus in La Moraleja, Madrid. Our model combines the academic rigour of the British Sixth Form system with a strong commitment to student wellbeing, university guidance, and the development of the skills students need to thrive in the 21st century.
At Virtus, every student follows a personalised Roadmap designed around their academic profile, aspirations and university goals. Our teachers play a central role in making that journey successful, not only through high-quality classroom teaching, but also through mentoring, enrichment and active participation in the wider life of the school. We are a close-knit, international team united by a shared commitment to educational excellence, innovation and the belief that every student can become the best version of themselves.
