Colegio El Valle Alicante

Colegios El Valle is a secular, independent institution committed to the integral development of students to serve a pluralistic and democratic society. Its educational approach is built on three pillars: educational technology, bilingualism in English, and the promotion of physical activity and sports. The school emphasizes active methodologies, such as cooperative learning and project-based learning, to encourage students to become constructors of their own knowledge.

The academic offering spans from early childhood education (starting at age 0) through primary, secondary, and baccalaureate levels, including the International Baccalaureate (IB) and vocational training. The curriculum is bilingual, with English integrated into all areas of Science and Art, supported by native-speaking assistants. The 'Two Thousand Project' aims to ensure students achieve linguistic competence and fluency in English, while the 'Alejandría' project provides a structured approach to reading, covering instrumental, learning, and leisure-based reading in both digital and traditional formats.

The school is recognized as a Microsoft Showcase School and holds a Seal of Quality for Bilingual Education. Students have access to the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, which is noted for challenging students to expand their academic and personal limits. The institution also maintains a strong focus on preparing students for both higher education and professional life through its vocational training centers.

The school maintains a Department of Guidance that plans and develops strategies to facilitate attention to diversity and meet the specific needs of all students. Support structures include dedicated 'Aulas de Ayuda' (Help Classrooms) and 'Aulas de Refuerzo Educativo' (Educational Reinforcement Classrooms). Furthermore, the school implements the KiVa program, developed by the University of Turku, to prevent and address school bullying.

The school provides education for students from 0 to 18 years of age, spanning from early childhood education through to vocational training. Families can access information and school services through the Central de Información a Familias (CiFam) platform and a dedicated mobile application.

The campuses feature specialized learning environments, including dynamic and modular 'Reinvent The Classroom' (RTC) spaces designed to promote autonomy and creativity. Physical facilities include libraries, dining halls, sports courts, and heated swimming pools. Additionally, the school maintains an Aula de Naturaleza (Nature Classroom) and has implemented photovoltaic panels for energy self-consumption.

The school offers a wide range of cultural, artistic, and sports-based extracurricular activities designed to foster personal satisfaction and self-realization. The Club Deportivo El Valle manages a comprehensive sports program involving nine different sports and over 2,000 participants. From primary education through secondary school, students participate in internal championships for futsal, basketball, and floorball, which culminate in the annual ValleOlimpia event.
