Casvi Villaviciosa International School has welcomed a group of students from Eisenhower International School (USA), who have arrived in Madrid as true language explorers. Their two-month stay is part of the International Exchange Programme that distinguishes the Casvi educational model.

A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE FOR LINGUISTIC EXPLORERS
The arrival of these students marks the beginning of an educational and personal adventure. During their stay, they will not only perfect their Spanish. They will also discover the cultural, social and gastronomic richness of our country. They will do so while integrating into the daily life of the families of the Casvi Educational Community.
A TWO-WAY EXCHANGE
This meeting is the second phase of the Tulsa Exchange. Just a week ago, Casvi Villaviciosa Primary 5th and 6th grade students travelled to Oklahoma. There, they are experiencing American culture first hand, as well as attending classes and practising English in an immersive way.
In this way, two-way learning is encouraged: pupils become cultural ambassadors reinforcing values such as empathy, respect and openness to the world.
ADVANTAGES OF THE EXCHANGE PROGRAMME
The language explorers project offers benefits that go far beyond language proficiency:
- Promotes personal autonomy and maturity.
- It promotes intercultural integration and respect for diversity.
- It enriches academic training with real life experiences.
- It builds friendships that transcend borders.
A philosophy aligned with the OECD strategy, which promotes essential life skills.
CASVI VILLAVICIOSA, A BENCHMARK IN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
The arrival of these linguistic explorers reinforces one of the hallmarks of Casvi Villaviciosa: its firm commitment to internationality and global training.
Casvi prepares its students to successfully face the 21st century, an interconnected and diverse world in constant change. It does this through:
An international curriculum based on IB methodology that develops global competencies and critical thinking.
A multilingual model, with English from the first year of life and German and Chinese from the age of 10. Also Spanish for foreigners.
A solid programme of language exchanges, which connects students with schools in the USA (Oklahoma, Minnesota…), Canada or Germany. And it does so without intermediaries, directly.
An international educational community, with students and teachers of different nationalities, which enriches the daily coexistence.
External language examinations (Cambridge, Goethe, Confucius Institute, Trinity, IELTS) which officially accredit the skills acquired.
Testimonials from students and families confirm this: “a cultural exchange not only improves the language, but becomes a life-changing experience,” says Pedro, the father of a student who participated in one of them.
