Union-Chrétienne de Saint Chaumond is a Catholic French school in Madrid, homologated in both France and Spain. It is not a bilingual school but a French school in Spain: lessons are taught in French and follow the programmes and methods of the French education system. The school's pages refer to its pupils as girls. Teaching is spread over three sites in Madrid:
- Saint Vincent, Avenida Comandante Franco 8: Petite and Moyenne Section (nursery)
- Sainte Cécile, Avenida Alfonso XIII 155: Grande Section to CM2
- Saint Chaumond, Calle Rodríguez Marín 30-32: collège and lycée
Under bilateral agreements, Spanish language and literature and Spanish geography and history are taught in Spanish from CP to Terminale. English starts in nursery, and Italian is offered as an activity in collège and an option in lycée. Students can take DELF B2 or DALF C1 in French and Trinity College B2 in English. Pupils finish with the French Baccalauréat; they do not need the Spanish university entrance exam, but may sit up to four PCE subject exams, and the UNED converts the Baccalauréat grade for Spanish universities.
Most pupils join in Petite Section, which has 60 places a year, and a good level of French is required for later entry.

Families fill in the online pre-registration form; the school recommends pre-registering from birth, which does not guarantee a place. Most pupils start in Petite Section (60 places a year), with priority for siblings and French-speaking families, so there is often a waiting list. Families are contacted in January or February about admission for September. For other year groups, families also arrange a meeting with the head of primary or secondary, and the child needs a good level of French. Documents include a birth certificate, baptism certificate and medical certificate; from CP, the full school record and a teacher's recommendation; from Sixième, a handwritten motivation letter from the pupil.
Lessons are taught in French, so pupils joining after Petite Section need a good level of French to follow classes. Language certificates offered: DELF B2 and DALF C1 (French), Trinity College B2 (English) and PLIDA A2 (Italian).
