History
American School of Valencia was created by a group of visionary families and teachers who were committed to create the first English-speaking school in Valencia. The preliminary works to found ASV started in 1978 and included official enquiries to the Spanish education authorities, the close support of the American embassy, and an agreement with the owners of the residential area “Los Monasterios” to have a portion of land and build an international school.
From these humble beginnings in 1980, ASV has prospered and grown to be the finest international school in the Valencia region.
