Internacional Aravaca kicks off a school year with a vision for the future

08-09-2025

The school begins the academic year by strengthening its identity and five core pillars, with an educational project that combines academic rigor, international openness and personal growth.

The new school year begins at Internacional Aravaca with the same conviction that has guided the school since its inception. Its mission is to shape individuals who are well-rounded, curious, and confident, capable of lifelong learning and of contributing to a diverse world. This year, the educational community once again places IA’s core values and pillars at the heart of learning.

A mission that inspires daily practice

The school aims to develop academic, personal, and emotional competencies through challenging learning experiences. International openness and multilingualism are not merely educational tools, but a framework that connects students to global realities. Vocational guidance is present at every stage, helping students make informed and confident decisions about their academic and professional futures.

Values lived in community

Integrity, open-mindedness, and academic excellence go hand in hand with social commitment and self-confidence. These values are reflected in teamwork, in listening to different cultures, and in personal responsibility. The school community is committed to bringing each of these principles to life through daily practices, from project planning to collaboration with the wider community.

A student profile as a guiding vision

The school defines a graduate profile that goes beyond academic achievement. Students learn to think critically and creatively, to solve problems independently, and to communicate clearly and respectfully in multiple languages. Collaboration and empathy are valued just as highly as subject mastery, and are developed through projects that celebrate cultural diversity.

The IA pillars as a hallmark of identity

Five core pillars underpin the school’s educational project. IA Communication promotes clear, multilingual dialogue. IA Confidence fosters self-belief and leadership with integrity. IA Commitment strengthens long-term dedication to excellence and community. IA Growth emphasizes innovation and lifelong learning. IA Global prepares students for an interconnected world with an open mindset.

Looking ahead to the school year

The academic year begins with the certainty that every learning experience contributes to shaping prepared and conscientious individuals. In the coming weeks, new projects and opportunities to engage with families and the broader community will unfold. The goal is clear: to grow with confidence, communication and a global perspective.
