INTERNATIONALITY
At Casvi International American School, students, teachers, and non-teaching staff come from different parts of the world. We are an international school where respect, diversity, and inclusion are key. This community not only enriches our classrooms, but also contributes to the education of global citizens with an open and understanding perspective.
International School
International school in Tres Cantos
Our international school is a reflection of the global society in which we live. Here, students have the opportunity to interact with people from different backgrounds, allowing them to learn about different cultures, traditions, and perspectives. This provides them with a well-rounded education and prepares them to face the challenges and opportunities that the globalized world has in store for them.
Our school brings together students, teachers, and non-teaching staff from different corners of the world. Currently, we have more than 30 different nationalities, which generates an atmosphere of internationality and multiculturalism that benefits the entire educational community.
Since the language of instruction is English, new students from countries as different as Turkey or Brazil have no problems adapting to the classes or making friends. In addition, to make their arrival in Spain easier, Spanish classes are offered for foreign students who need it.
We work to create an environment in which everyone has the opportunity to participate fully in school life, regardless of their differences.

"I have been living in the Casvi Boarding School for two years, when I came to Spain from China. Everything is very different from my country, but I like it very much. The teachers are very good and kind to us and my favorite class is math. I have friends from China and different parts of the world".

"I was born and raised in Oxford. I have been living in Spain for two years, but I am new to this school which is very different from England. The exams are more difficult, but the teachers are very good and help me. I have made many friends since I arrived and I like this school a lot, more than the other one because it is much bigger and more fun."

"I am from Colombia and I moved to Spain two years ago because of my parents' job. This is my second year at this school which I love. The classes are very fun because we do a lot of projects. The classes are very practical.
Accommodation for foreign students: Boarding School
Our Boarding School or Student Residence is at your disposal for foreign or national students who need it.
El Casvi International American School campus has two student residences, one for girls and one for boys. In them, the resident students enjoy a full board regime that covers all their basic needs and are supervised by educators who live with them. In addition, life at the Casvi International American Boarding School offers a wide variety of fun and interesting social and cultural activities, especially during the weekends, such as visits to museums, hiking trails or going to the cinema or bowling alley.
Pen-Pal Program
As part of our commitment to providing a comprehensive education and a global perspective, we organised a Pen-Pal program in collaboration with Avondale GATE Magnet School in Michigan, USA.
This programme, in which our Middle School students exchange correspondence with other students from the United States, offers a fantastic opportunity for our students to get involved in the intercultural community and make connections with peers from all over the world.
As an International Baccalaureate school, we believe in the value of this type of initiative to emphasize international thinking and open-mindedness. It is an enriching and rewarding experience for students and an opportunity for personal and educational growth.
Language exams
As an international school, we encourage our students to take official exams to recognize their language level. From the age of four, they can sit for the GESE1 and GESE2 exams of the Trinity, which they can take at our center, but we also encourage them to take the external exams of the University of Cambridge, the Goethe Institute and Chinese at the Confucius Institute (YCT).
We consider that officially and internationally recognized language tests are a very important value, since they accredit the specific skills acquired by our students. In addition, their results are useful for the school, as an external reference, focusing the results on the constant improvement of our teaching.
