July 4th - Madrid

CLASS OF 2026

Dear Student,

You are about to complete your studies and therefore achieve the success of obtaining two high school degrees at the same time, congratulations! From Academica, we want to congratulate you on the effort, commitment, dedication, maturity, and responsibility you have shown.

On the occasion of your graduation and obtaining the American High School Diploma, and although it is not part of the Dual Diploma®, Academica is organizing Talent & Heart 2026 on Saturday, July 4th, with doors opening at 4:00 PM and starting at 5:00 PM, at the Palacio Vistalegre in Madrid. Graduating students must be present by 4:00 PM.

The Talent & Heart event is financially supported by Academica, beginning with the solemn graduation ceremony for Class of 2026 students and continuing with Academica & Friends, a massive party and concert featuring performances by great artist friends of Academica, ending at 11:50 PM.

By initiative of the students, to attend the Talent & Heart event it is necessary to purchase a charity ticket per attendee. A solidarity initiative established by the Class of 2019 who, given the gift of these events, proposed making a 19-euro donation per attendee to be destined entirely to help families of children with brain injury and international cooperation.

At Academica, we applaud the proposal of the Class of 2019, endorsed by students year after year, which demonstrates that besides great talent, you are students with a big heart, which led us to name this celebration Talent & Heart, with Academica also covering all ticket management costs to keep the donations and their solidarity spirit fully intact.

We hope to see you, your family, and friends on July 4th in Madrid to celebrate your great academic success together.

José Luis Martinez de Urbina - Presidente Academica Spain

Vikina, a breakthrough artist nominated for the 2024 Latin Grammy Awards, performed the American anthem for all attendees at the Class of 2025 graduation event, which served to continue this great party.
