La Devesa School, Elche

The school is committed to an experiential and competency-based curriculum that prepares students for future challenges by fostering critical thinking, autonomy, and responsible decision-making. Its educational approach emphasizes the development of "power skills," agile working methodologies, and an entrepreneurial attitude, all while maintaining a focus on emotional well-being and values-based education. The school aims to provide a comprehensive development that treats each student as unique, encouraging them to become lifelong learners.

The school offers a full educational pathway spanning Infantil, Primaria, Secundaria, and Bachillerato. Its academic offering is enhanced by the "Vuela Alto" competency program, which integrates STEAM, robotics, digital learning, and global perspectives into the curriculum. The school is a Cambridge International School and places a strong emphasis on plurilingual communication, offering various language certifications and international experiences.

The school integrates attention to diversity as a core component of its educational model, providing specialized support for students with learning difficulties as well as those identified with high capacities. A dedicated cabinet generates pre-admission reports to ensure personalized responses to student needs, and the school offers linguistic reinforcement programs to assist students in mastering the languages of instruction.

The school follows a structured admission protocol that includes entrance assessments to evaluate the capabilities, attitudes, and aptitudes of each applicant. While the school is inclusive and provides support for students with learning difficulties or high capacities, it requires a formal application process that involves a school visit, a cabinet meeting to generate a pre-admission report, and the submission of enrollment forms. For new students in all stages except Infantil, the school provides necessary linguistic reinforcement in Spanish, Valencian, or English to ensure academic integration.

The school operates throughout the academic year and offers additional seasonal programming, including Christmas workshops and a Summer School program. Prospective families can attend various open day events, such as the Kids Open Day and Primary Open Day, which are available in both in-person and online formats.

The campus spans 10,000 square meters and features modern, flexible learning spaces with mobile partitions to facilitate diverse teaching activities. Specialized facilities include three science laboratories (Physics, Biology, and Technology), an informatics lab, a soundproof music room, an arts studio, and a library with dedicated areas for individual and collaborative work. Sports facilities comprise a 1,500 m² multi-sport court, a 500 m² artificial turf football pitch, a covered sports pavilion, and a 25-meter semi-Olympic heated swimming pool.

The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities designed to foster talent and personal development. These include international exchange programs, such as long-standing partnerships with schools in Germany, as well as workshops in creativity, arts, science, technology, and healthy cooking. Students also participate in solidarity and sustainability projects, public speaking and debate initiatives, and various sports activities.
