The Primary Years Programme
The Spanish educational framework is enhanced by the PYP through an inquiry-based method that recognises the innate potential of students to inquire, both in school and in the wider world, to question, ask questions and theorise about themselves, others and the world around them.
Transdisciplinary education
Students explore six themes of global significance during Primary School:
These are addressed in different subjects, stimulating children to learn how to connect different ideas to a unique whole. They reflect on the importance of their learning to take meaningful action in their community and beyond.
At International Aravaca the Admissions department remains open throughout the year, looking forward to the opportunity to welcome students into our school community, regardless of the season.
