Studying at SEK schools is more than simply going to schools. A SEK education lays the foundation for learning to work and live in the future. Our educational model was designed in and for the 21st century and has made innovation a tradition, positioning us as leading international schools since 1892.
SEK schools offers the IB programmes since 1977 and were the first in Spain, and pioneers worldwide.
With schools in Spain, Ireland, France and Qatar, SEK Education Group boasts an international learning community made up of over 5,500 students from more than 70 nationalities. SEK students are accepted at prestigious international universities worldwide - Stanford, Georgetown, Babson, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College and Edinburgh.
These scholarships are awarded by SEK Education Group, through its Felipe Segovia Foundation, to those students from year 1 of PYP to year 2 of IB Diploma with outstanding performance in sports and who are beginning or continuing their studies at a SEK International School in Spain with a SEK Sports Academy in the student’s chosen sport.
