A Global Perspective
Internacional Altair in Madrid, as well as its global connection center, demonstrates our commitment to this vision.
Instilling a global perspective in our students is imperative in today’s education. Not only do many careers depend on global intelligence, but fostering open-mindedness and compassion in our children leads to more peaceful coexistence for future generations. Our faculty and staff work together to provide our students with engaging lessons and unique opportunities to engage them to be “global citizens.”
