Join our team

We prepare our students to be citizens of the world, with skills that will allow them to overcome the challenges of the 21st century.

Our background

Virtus, The British Sixth Form College, is the first Sixth Form College in Spain, offering a British education in small class sizes and year groups. Founded in 2016, we have since helped our students reach their maximum potential, both on a personal and academic level, by providing a very personalised and innovative approach to education.

Our aim is to maintain our Sixth Form approach to education as the key towards every student’s success and well-being. Virtus is devoted to allowing every individual to become the best version of themselves: a personal Roadmap, combining all the different elements at Virtus, is set up for each student; a path which best caters for their specific needs and university goals.

Our Mentoring Programme helps students hone their organisational and study skills, as well as offering full support in all aspects of their school life, including all stages of their university applications. The Co-curriculum Programme and Programme represent a magnificent opportunity for students to gain a global outlook whilst engaging in enriching activities and provide the chance of impressing universities with tangible skills and experiences.

Our values

Passion

Our teachers show a passion for their fields beyond their academic expertise, and for education, inspiring students to achieve academic excellence.

Creativity

Teachers at Virtus make the most of our learning environment, participating in methodological innovation and the integration of new technologies in the classroom, and showing adaptability and dynamism to approach solutions in their Mentor role.

Commitment
