What our clients have to say:

“Sinead was essential is planning our gap year in Madrid. Our 2 boys having a smooth transition was our biggest concern and we wanted to find a school that could help with that. She was great at explaining the whole process and type of schools, the dates that were important, but also more importantly putting us at ease with the decision making…. We did it all remotely from the states and got most everything on our wish list. We now live in Madrid, in a great family friendly neighborhood and are walking distance to our small bilingual school of choice. Thank you Sinead for helping make this happen.”
