March has been a special month for Casvi Villaviciosa International School. So far this month, the school has been recognised in three prestigious educational rankings, consolidating its position as a benchmark in education in Spain. After its inclusion in the list of Best Schools in Spain by El Mundo and in the list of Outstanding Schools by El Español, now a new recognition has been added: Casvi Villaviciosa has been selected in the Forbes List of Best Schools Spain 2025. (Attention: the list is ordered by ALPHABETICAL ORDER).
WHAT ASPECTS HAVE BEEN DECISIVE IN THE SELECTION OF CASVI VILLAVICIOSA?
The prestigious magazine Forbes, known for its reference lists in multiple sectors, draws up each year its List of the 100 Best Schools in Spain, analysing a series of objective criteria. A committee of experts in pedagogy, psychology and education evaluates each school on the basis of 36 indicators organised into seven blocks.
- Academic excellence and individualised attention (30%): the number of students per class, the teacher/student ratio, support for students with special needs and continuity of education until the end of their studies.
- Academic results (23%). Includes the average mark in the EvAU, in the final exams of the Diploma Programme. Also for Secondary and Primary, reflecting the level of pupils’ preparation.
- Educational and technological offer (18%). The Forbes Ranking of the Best Schools in Spain took into account the languages taught, the Baccalaureate options, the availability of virtual classrooms and access to technology in learning.
- Infrastructure and services (12%). Aspects such as facilities, transport service and the presence of health professionals within the school were analysed.
- Training in values and student welfare (10%). The tutorials, the psychology office, cybersecurity training and the promotion of diversity were evaluated.
- Additional factors (7%). These include monthly fees, demand for places, links with alumni and financial education classes.
Thus, Casvi Villaviciosa’s commitment to an educational model based on innovation, academic excellence and the integral development of its students has been the key to its recognition on this prestigious list. Just a few months ago, the prestigious academic advisors “IB Educations Advisors LTD” also included us in another list. The Best International Baccalaureate Schools in Europe.
WHY CASVI VILLAVICIOSA ON THE FORBES LIST OF THE 100 BEST SCHOOLS IN SPAIN
According to Forbes magazine itself, Casvi Villaviciosa stands out “for being one of the few public schools in Madrid to offer the IB Continuum of Programmes, which includes the PYP (Primary Years Programme), MYP (Middle Years Programme) and DP (Diploma Programme)”.
Also, because “Its approach encourages transdisciplinary learning from an early age, developing academic competences as well as linguistic and cultural skills. Students can study up to four languages: English from the first year, German and Chinese from the age of 10 and Spanish for foreign students.
And finally, according to Forbes Magazine, the “organisation of non-academic activities such as volunteer programmes, charity campaigns with Caritas, cancer awareness activities and a race against Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Leukaemia” deserve special mention.
In short, this new recognition reinforces Casvi Villaviciosa’s position as a school committed to international education, personalised learning and the development of key skills for the future. A model that allows its students to reach their full potential in a global learning environment.
