Vega Escuela Activa is a small private international school in Colmenar de Oreja, in the south of the Madrid region, about 10 minutes from Aranjuez. It teaches Infant, Primary and Secondary education and is authorised by the Comunidad de Madrid as a foreign school (centro extranjero, school code 28078079). The school states that it holds international accreditation from NEASC.

The school follows an active, student-centred pedagogy and is set in a natural environment; its approach to space is inspired by Reggio Emilia. Classes work mainly through:

• Project-based learning
• Cooperative work
• Research and experimentation
• Continuous, formative assessment

Infant education is based on free play and emotional support. In Primary, younger pupils spend one day a week learning outdoors in a nearby natural area and older pupils one day every two weeks; Secondary (ESO) uses interdisciplinary projects and debate. The school holds open days from time to time; families can ask for the next date by email.
