Our School

Welcome to IA

Welcome from the director

We welcome you to Aravaca International, an educational project of great academic rigour characterised by our dedication to the learning and personal development of our students. We do this through active methodologies, technology, languages, sport and by promoting skills such as critical thinking, decision making, communication skills and entrepreneurship, among others.

The school’s great team of professionals provides constant support to students, empowering their abilities so that they can achieve academic and personal success, creating pedagogical experiences that open their minds as global citizens aware of themselves and the world around them.

Our students are recognised as caring and informed citizens who contribute to building a better world through intercultural understanding and respect.

Why AI?

International Aravaca’s educational project is based on 5 solid pillars, with which we achieve the “educational excellence” that guarantees the success of our students, both personally and academically.

What is different?

Our basic principle is that not all students learn in the same way and at the same time. We encourage neuronal stimulation in the earliest stages through active methodologies that increase the motivation and participation of the student, who can expose and contrast their points of view.

Teamwork and problem solving in real life situations are essential qualities. All of this is accompanied by an important sports programme.

International Aravaca is committed to our students:

The INTEGRAL EDUCATION of its pupils. The school promotes the values that foster respect for human rights, dialogue and the relationships of coexistence necessary for the construction of a democratic society.

To help students develop strategies for self-evaluation, demanding work and valuing a job well done.

To broaden each child’s experience, knowledge, imagination and understanding, thus enabling them to realise their potential to learn and their capacity for enjoyment.

To help pupils develop active and analytical minds, the ability to question, discuss and develop ideas rationally and to engage in physical tasks and activities. We consider as a fundamental part of the educational process the range of sporting, cultural, artistic, manual and artistic activities which foster the interests and nuances peculiar to the pupils’ personalities, while providing a solid basis for the good use of leisure time.
