Colegio Madrid

Colegio Madrid is a private, secular, coeducational school in Mexico City, Mexico. It was founded on 21 June 1941 by the Junta de Auxilio a los Republicanos Españoles (JARE), the exile relief organization led by Spanish socialist leader Indalecio Prieto, using funds of the Spanish Republican government in exile, to educate refugee children of families displaced by the Spanish Civil War. It was the last of the schools created in Mexico by the Spanish Republican exile community, but it grew to enroll the largest number of students and acquired a wide reputation in Mexican educational circles and public life.
