Davy College

Davy College is committed to inspiring excellence and transforming bold ambitions into reality through an open, honest, and constructive approach. Its mission is to empower students with the academic, cultural, and life skills necessary to become integral and successful citizens. The school emphasizes values such as respect, responsibility, and rights, while fostering a bilingual and international environment.

The school offers a curriculum based on international frameworks, including the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), and the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC). In the final two years of secondary school, it provides the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. The academic approach is bilingual, with a strong emphasis on English and Spanish, and incorporates methodologies such as Reggio Emilia and Montessori in the early years.

The school aims to form integral, successful citizens with a global mindset, environmental awareness, and the ability to make significant impacts in society. Graduates are prepared for university studies through rigorous international programmes, with a focus on developing critical thinking, leadership, and bilingual proficiency.

The school provides specialized support for language development, including prevention, detection, and follow-up for communication difficulties. An English Language Acquisition (ELA) programme is available to support students needing assistance with the bilingual curriculum. Additionally, the school employs a social-emotional learning programme and maintains a nursing station for health guidance and first aid.

The admissions process is conducted virtually and is open throughout the year, subject to vacancy availability. Applicants must submit documentation including birth certificates, identification, vaccination records, and academic transcripts, with specific requirements for international transfers and those from non-Spanish speaking countries. A fee is required for the admission process.

The school maintains a calendar of activities, with specific updates provided through its news portal. Admissions and transfer processes generally commence at the end of August.

The campus spans 6.5 hectares and includes specialized classrooms, science and technology laboratories, and a 1,000 m2 library with over 25,000 titles. Sports facilities feature a coliseum with a 1,500-person capacity, covered multi-sport courts, two grass fields for football and rugby, and an athletics track. Arts facilities include dedicated spaces for visual arts, music rooms for instrumental and theory instruction, and a cultural center.

The school offers a range of activities beyond the formal curriculum, including cultural and sports programmes. Students can participate in music ensembles such as choirs, orchestras, and violin groups, as well as sports like basketball, volleyball, badminton, and rugby. Additionally, the school participates in the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award and provides opportunities for student leadership through the student council.
