SOBRE NOSOTROS
El colegio concertado Newman, una historia friendship
Building a civilization
La historia del Colegio Internacional J.H. Newman, it begins in the spring of 1998, where a group of friends and teachers raised the desire to make a school capable of expressing everything that we had built as a people, and that could make close to all a possibility full meaning to life.
The school finally opened its doors in September 2005, welcoming its first students in the Barrio de las Rosas in Madrid. Since then, and under the sponsorship of the FIE (Foundation for International Education), the school has grown thanks to the trust placed in this educational project by countless individuals, families, institutions, and both ecclesial and civil communities. There is no human endeavor more thrilling than accompanying another person on the path to happiness.
Education is a conscious decision and humble of a man who, with the totality of his person, that is to say, of their freedom, se pone delante de otro hombre y está dispuesto a recorrer junto a él este camino. Sobre esta libertad se sustenta la historia del Colegio Newman: an experience open to the world and ready to meet the wishes of the challenges that the reality of us propose.
