Casvi International American School is accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA), a world leader in accreditation and school improvement. For more than 125 years, Middle States has helped school leaders set and achieve their goals, develop strategic plans, promote staff development and advance student achievement.
At Casvi International American School we are aligned with the MSA philosophy in aspects such as:

-Ensure that all students have access to quality education. Education is important to the quality of life in our global society.
In addition, being a member of an MSA requires us to be in a process of continuous improvement to further demonstrate our attributes.
The MSA accredits Casvi International American School because we follow the American Common Core Standards. These standards aim to develop critical thinking, problem-solving and provide students with the analytical skills necessary to succeed in the future.
They also focus on multiple intelligences and the development of individual talents, with special attention to the impact on such essential aspects as cognitive, affective and social aspects of students.
In order to achieve MSA accreditation as an authorized American school in Spain, a series of requirements must be met, including the following:
-Having a high educational quality guaranteed to the entire community.
-To have American teachers.
–Families involved in the development of the life of the school with volunteer activities.
-Establish a series of security protocols.
These standards provide teachers, parents and students with a clear set of tools to ensure that students gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in college, career and life, regardless of where they live.
The standards are aligned with college expectations. In addition, they promote equity by ensuring that all students are perfectly able to collaborate and compete with students from both within their own country and around the world
This is very important in today’s world. We are facing an increasingly globalized world where people travel to other countries both to study and to work. Therefore, it is very important to be prepared for this situation.
