Princess Letizia returns to her Old School

Two days ago, on January 28, the Princess of Asturias returned to the Ramiro de Maetzu School, where she studied a bachelor, to commemorate its 70th anniversary.

After a short visit through the school facilities, the Princess watched a musical show performed by the school’s orchestra. Letizia unveiled a commemorative plaque and signed the honour book on the occasion. During the visit, she had the opportunity to meet with some of her old teachers, who remember her as a “good and polite student”.

Ramiro de Maeztu School is one of the public schools in Madrid that offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, in its case since 1983. IB is a non-profit educational foundation that offers three high quality programmes of international education to a worldwide community of schools.

The programmes for students aged 3-19 “help develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world.”

The IB Diploma assessment is recognized by the world’s leading universities and it’s an opportunity for students that want to continue their education universities abroad.
