BOARDING
SLAM School offers students the possibility of pursuing their studies while staying at our boarding house within the Sierra de Guadarrama campus, located in the middle of nature. The boarding residence, overlooking a lake, is fully equipped with single, double or triple rooms and is separated into two different wings by sex.
Boarding is the best way for students to develop independence, foster responsibility, learn to manage their own time, help others and form strong and meaningful friendships. Through boarding, students benefit from the experience of being part of a compassionate and caring community that accords full support for their personal growth and development.
Our residence provides full board as well as cleaning and laundry services, so that our students do not have to worry about these tasks during the school term and can enjoy a comfortable stay. Students are only expected to make their beds daily and keep order in their room and in the rest of the common facilities.

Mentoring
Aware of the need for parents and guardians to know first-hand how their child is doing, we have established a mentoring program that is aimed at the personal accompaniment of each of our students, during both school and non-school hours, including during their time of residence in our facilities on weekends. At SLAM School, the safety and well-being of students is paramount. Thus, assigned mentors monitor all aspects inside and outside of the classroom and are in permanent contact with families. They serve as a guardian to students and as a trusted link for families during the school year.
Weekend Activities
We recognize that apart from an academic education, experiences outside of the classroom play an integral part in helping our students broaden their minds and develop into well-rounded young individuals. With this in mind, SLAM School has designed a wide range of weekend activities that our boarders can partake in.
These activities include field trips to Spanish cities with rich history and tradition, in order to acclimatize students to Spain’s unique corners and squares, visiting museums, cultural institutions and large companies, as well as other more fun and playful activities that take place outside of the school campus. Students will be permanently accompanied by their mentors during all weekend activities.
Boarders who choose not to participate in weekend activities may enjoy their leisure time within the perimeters of the campus and are free to utilize the school’s sports and recreational facilities.
