Formation by values at Cambridge House Valencia

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is the most important global award for young people, mixing practical experiences and life skills while preparing young people for the future. Since its foundation in 1956 by his highness the Duke of Edinburgh, more than 8 million young people from 140 countries and territories have participated in the prize. We are proud for our students from 14 to 18 years old to participate. 

The prize is voluntary, non-competitive, fun, balanced and requires effort and consistency for a determined period of time. It consists of 3 levels: Bronze ,Silver and Gold. Young people design their own programme, establish their own goals and register their progress. They choose a public service, a physical recreative activity, a skill, an adventurous expidition or to reach the gold level they carry out a residential project. They are only in competition with themselves, challenging their own perceptions of what they are capable of.

MUN has as an objective the education of participants regarding current events, themes of international relations, diplomacy and the agenda of the United Nations. The participants act as diplomats who represent a nation or NGO in a simulated session of the UN council, such as the security council or the general assembly.

The participants research a country, assume roles as diplomats then research international questions, debate, deliberate and later develop solutions for world problems. Cambridge House students have had the opportunity to participate in the Model UN since 2013 in sessions held in Valencia, Madrid, Oporto and Barcelona.

Since 2004, the European Youth Parliament has involved young people from virtually all European countries in its activities. The European Youth Parliament is one of the largest organisations for non-formal political education in Europe.

The principal aim of the VIS Cup (Valencia International Schools) is to unite students from different schools within a competitive sporting environment – while promoting key values such as fair play, teamwork and positive application.

We have four scheduled competitions scheduled on the calendar Basketball, Football, Athletics and Swimming. However, we also offer the opportunities to play friendly competitions in Volleyball and Hockey.

The tournament has evolved over the recent years where a Valencia representative team has been selected in basketball and football to play against teams from Madrid and Barcelona.

If you would like to become more actively involved in our school community, there is no better way than to attend our planned activities for parents, as educational lunches, where topics of interest or concerns common to our parents are discussed in a relaxed way.
