It is increasingly clear that if we want young people to be well prepared for the challenges of a constantly changing society like ours, the international and multicultural dimension must be very present in their learning process.

At Joyfe, internationalization is a fundamental part of its educational program, but also of the school life of its students, who can experience the benefits of this internationalization both inside and outside the classroom.

The strategy to incorporate international aspects into learning is implemented in an adapted and transversal way throughout the academic life of the students, from the moment they join the school at the age of 2.

One of the most relevant and recognized points by the families of the school, and by the families looking for a school for their children, is

since JOYFE does not teach all the subjects in English (it does not have a British curriculum).

The excellent academic and social results of its students are based on

. But it has other equally or more important advantages such as being able to develop an

beyond their culture and way of life.

The experiences that our students live go beyond strengthening the acquisition of a language, they have more to do with the acquisition of personal skills that will serve them at all levels of their development.

For example: the ability to adapt to new situations, the ability to overcome or fend for oneself, communication, responsibility, respect and solidarity for people, society and the environment and something as important as commitment and enthusiasm. .

And, of course, we provide our students with the basic tool that will help them to acquire the rest of the skills: languages, and especially English."

through its own project Bilingual Mind, one of the pillars of its innovative educational project and part of the internationality of the school.

Training in English begins from Infant (2 years), to which French is added as a second foreign language from 3rd grade.

In Infants, 50% of the day is given exclusively in English, allowing children to acquire a "second first language" effortlessly.

Bilingualism from an early age and the skills that JOYFE students acquire during stays abroad allow them to prepare for an increasingly changing and global world.

Thanks to this, JOYFE students are candidates for excellence in languages.

In fact, their good level is reflected in the external tests (Trinity College and Cambridge), which they take without the need for reinforcement classes to achieve this objective.

In addition,

takes place in an environment of cultural and linguistic diversity, since every year the number of foreign students who choose JOYFE as their reference school increases.

For all of them, the school has personalized services of native translators, with the aim of providing the best service both to the student and to the international families that are part of the JOYFE Family, which will be able to carry out multiple activities designed for the cultural integration of the same.

It is the same teachers who propose different activities and multicultural challenges and trips abroad in order to strengthen the skills worked in the classroom and of course the learning of languages.

These activities allow students to learn and understand the language through native intonation, expressions and body language.

One of the most differentiating international challenges, and in which JOYFE is the only Spanish school that participates, is the

an international high-performance competition.

JOYFE students were winners of the European competition and this allowed them to travel to Cape Canaveral for the final to defend their project together with their "company", made up of students from other countries.

One more proof of how this type of life experiences also makes them grow as people.

In addition, JOYFE teachers participate in

The good thing about these exchanges is that JOYFE students do not completely disconnect from the school, since they have a tutor/teacher who sends them the tasks or lessons that they must follow so that when they return they are at the same academic level as their peers. companions.

The
