About Us

A unique Spanish school in the heart of Madrid

Cronopios is a Spanish school school like no other, located in a prime location between the Prado Museum and Retiro Park. We believe learning Spanish in Madrid is more than just studying a language, it’s about full cultural immersion. As a teacher-owned school, we prioritize each student’s experience and unique path, adapting our approach to their goals, learning style, and time in Madrid, ensuring they feel welcomed and at home.

Our Journey

How We Got Here

Cronopios Idiomas was born from a shared dream: to create a school where learning Spanish would feel natural, human, and full of life. We were teachers first; curious, passionate, and deeply connected to our students’ journeys. Over time, we realized we wanted something more: a space that felt like home, where people from all over the world could learn not just a language, but also a way of seeing the world. So we built it together, from the ground up. Every class, every material, every detail has been crafted with care, always putting people at the center. We are a cooperative, which means we make decisions collectively and work every day to ensure our school reflects our values: collaboration, fairness, and a deep respect for each person’s path. Years later, Cronopios is still that space, a place where stories begin, where language opens doors, and where learning is shared. And we’re just getting started.

Living Madrid

We believe it is essential for our students, in their learning process, to be able to integrate socially and fully experience the city and everything it has to offer.

Immersion is not just about the language but also the culture, and Madrid is a city with so much to offer.

 

Creating a sense of belonging in our students towards the city they live in is essential for us. That’s why we take the time to provide individual guidance based on their preferences and needs, helping them discover spaces in this vibrant city that inspire and motivate them to learn the language as a tool to be part of something great.

Madrid enriches itself with every person who visits and has become a truly cosmopolitan city. Still, learning Spanish in Madrid opens the door to a world of cultural experiences, traditions, and history. Here, you won’t just learn a language; you’ll become part of a diverse, dynamic, and welcoming community that will make your experience unforgettable.
