Our school lunch service is run by Scolarest.
At Highlands School we are committed to healthy eating, and we help our pupils understand the importance of a healthy, balanced diet.
The school menu is designed and supervised by a team of nutritionists, prepared in our own kitchens on site and adapted to the nutritional needs of every pupil. Specific menus are available for pupils with allergies or any other condition certified by their doctor.
Mealtimes are also part of our pupils’ education, in an area that matters a great deal in their daily lives: we encourage good eating habits and good manners, and we work on values such as order, discipline, gratitude for our food and courtesy towards the people who serve us.
We hold the Quality Management System certificate issued by AENOR.
The regional health authority of the Community of Madrid (Consejería de Salud) also supervises the menus served in our dining hall.
We run 8 school bus routes for our pupils across the Madrid area. Each year the stops are set according to demand from new pupils.
Every route has a qualified bus attendant who is in constant contact with parents and with the routes coordinator.
Thanks to our excellent facilities, set in more than 22,000 square metres, we offer a wide range of options during the school day, suited to each pupil’s age, that develop their artistic and spatial, physical, sporting, linguistic and verbal abilities as part of an all-round education. From padel, swimming, judo, ballet, modern dance, flamenco, drama, Kumon, robotics, piano and guitar to classics such as football, basketball and volleyball.

Skating is a sport that never goes out of fashion. It helps children develop their balance and body control through its movements and exercises. Pupils learn to skate and refine their technique through drills, circuits and games in which they practise progression, turns, braking and even slalom. The activity develops the musculoskeletal system, coordination and flexibility.
