“At UFV, you study a lot of content, but what I value most is that almost invisible curriculum that allows you to discover yourself so that you can discover others, in this case my students. Learning that the focus must always be on the human and the being, which, after all, is the basis for being well and being able to learn anything.”

Jaime Abengózar

UFV Professor

“My time in college helped me understand the importance of educating with love, welcoming each child just as they are. Today, I apply that approach in the classroom, using music as a tool for children’s holistic development.”

Teresa Palomar de Tena

Music Teacher at Everest School

“To work in education, it’s not enough to simply want to give children the best; you also need to work on yourself. To teach values, we must first know ourselves, understand how we feel, and be able to recognize what the people around us are going through. That’s why emotional learning is essential to conveying these values authentically.”

Alba Cortizo

Alumni

“From my time at UFV, I take away so many things—and, above all, so many people. But what matters most is the way of looking at life, the world, and my own profession that I learned here. Studying at UFV has been a life-changing experience because it opened up new horizons for me and provided me with great role models—both among professors and classmates—who have helped me find greater meaning in my path.”

María José Ibáñez

Alumni

“I decided to study Early Childhood Education at Francisco de Vitoria University because of its campus, its facilities, and, above all, its anthropological and humanistic approach. Being an early childhood teacher means laying the foundation for the future of society, and here I have found a program that combines a calling, academic rigor, and personal support. In addition, the opportunity to also complete the Elementary Education program in just one year opens even more doors for my professional future.”
