Internacional Aravaca is part of International Schools Partnership (ISP), an international educational network comprising 118 schools in over 25 countries. This affiliation gives pupils access to opportunities that broaden their learning beyond the classroom and connect them with students from different parts of the world.

Through International Learning Opportunities (ILOs), pupils can take part in global projects, leadership experiences and virtual exchanges that enrich their education.

A school with the IB Continuum

Our educational programme incorporates the IB Continuum, enabling us to offer a coherent learning pathway from the early years through to the Sixth Form.

This methodological continuity is particularly valuable, as each stage is integrated within the same approach and prepares pupils to progress with confidence.

Thanks to this approach, pupils not only acquire knowledge, but also learn to ask questions, defend ideas and understand different perspectives.
