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

MUSIC TEACHER AT EVEREST SCHOOL

Teresa Palomar de Tena

“Dedicating yourself to education isn’t just about wanting to give children the best; it also requires working on yourself. To teach values, we need to know ourselves first, understand how we feel, and be able to recognize what the people around us are going through. That’s why emotional learning is essential for conveying these values in an authentic way.”

ALUMNI

Alba Cortizo

“I decided to study Early Childhood Education at Universidade Francisco de Vitoria because of its facilities, campus, and, above all, its anthropological and humanistic approach. Being an early childhood teacher means working on the foundations of future society, and here I have found an education that combines vocation, high standards, and personal support. Additionally, the opportunity to also complete the Primary Education program in just one year opens even more doors for my professional future.”

UFV STUDENT

Patricia García

“There are many things I will always remember from my time at UFV, but above all, the people I met there. 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 career path.”

ALUMNI

María José Ibáñez

“At UFV, you study rigorous academic content, but what I value most is that almost invisible curriculum that helps you discover yourself so that you can truly understand others, in my case, my students. You learn that the focus must always remain on the person and on their development, which is the foundation for well-being and meaningful learning.”
