Sports education and values: The Casvi Villaviciosa model of excellence

A student’s education does not end in the classroom. At Colegio Internacional Casvi Villaviciosa, one of the 100 best schools in Spain according to El Mundo’s ranking, sports education and values such as resilience and camaraderie are the driving force behind the development of human potential.

Next, our team of specialists explains in this video how movement is key to our students’ mental and physical balance:

EDUCATION SPORTS AND VALUES AS A TRANSDISCIPLINARY FOCUS

For Sergio, a physical education teacher, sport at our school is not an isolated subject: “It is a means of teaching effort, cooperation and respect”. This vision ensures that sports education and values permeate all stages, from Preschool to Baccalaureate, creating a solid foundation of healthy habits and personal ethics.

THE IB METHOD: INQUIRY AND REFLECTION IN SPORT

Unlike traditional models, our methodology for the International Baccalaureate (IB) invites the student to analyse their own practice. According to explains Tomás (Physical Education teacher): “The students not only practice, they also research and understand the importance of well-being”. This approach places sports education and values on an intellectual level. In it, the student is aware of how exercise enhances their ability to concentrate and emotional health.

SWIMMING AND PSYCHOMOTRICITY: THE START OF EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS

Casvi Villaviciosa’s commitment to sports education and values begins in the water. Fran, a specialist in swimming, emphasises that this discipline has been part of the school routine since the age of one to develop coordination and autonomy. Starting this process at an early age improves brain plasticity and the pupil’s personal safety.

SPORTS SCHOOLS: PASSION AND PERSONAL GROWTH

Comprehensive training extends beyond school hours. Alberto and Javi point out that our sports schools for football, basketball and athletics are places for personal improvement. Here, sports education and values translate into a fundamental life lesson.

The important thing is to never stop trying to try.
