The goal of this learning is to attain the full, all-round realisation of each of our students’ potential to tackle the challenges set by the 21st century.

SEK International Schools cater to over 7000 students between the ages of 4 months to 18 years old from over 80 nationalities at their schools in Madrid, Barcelona, Almería, Pontevedra, Dublin (Ireland), the Alps (France), Doha (Qatar), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and SEK International School Online. Camilo José Cela University (UCJC) is a private, plural, supportive, independent and in person university founded in 2000 as part of SEK Education Group. Its recent organisational transformation, new humanistic academic model and international and bilingual influence rest on three core pillars: interdisciplinary know-how, a strong teaching vocation and a clear vocation for applied research.
