Family@XIC
Building community through connection, creativity, and collaboration.
What Is Family@XIC?
Family@ is the parents’ association for Xàbia International College.
It is managed by a dedicated team of parent volunteers who collaborate with staff and students to enhance the school community.
We share significant discussions with the school, and coordinate enjoyable events and activities for both students and families, creating valuable opportunities for connection, collaboration, and fun!
Family@ isn’t a traditional PTA — it’s much more relaxed, inclusive and tries to bring together parents, staff, and students in the spirit of community.
Our Mission & Values
Connection
At XIC, we value the importance of community and encourage parents to connect with one another.
Giving Back

Community Connections
Charity & Impact
All funds raised by Family@ directly support parent association events and initiatives.
We receive no funding from XIC. Each year, we select a charity to support, donating any extra funds to give back to our local community.
2025 — Javea Cancer Care
Through fundraising and community support, Cancer Care Javea ensures that resources are directed where they are needed most. By collaborating with other charities and organisations, they aim to provide greater help, hope, and support to anyone impacted by cancer.
2024 — Project4All (Total donations: 300 €)
Last year, Family@ supported Project4All, an organisation dedicated to providing vital assistance to the homeless and those in need across the Costa Blanca region. To learn more about their work, visit project4all.org.
2023 & 2022 — Make A Smile (Donations: 500 € & 250 €)
Make A Smile Charity is entirely run by dedicated volunteers. Their mission is to raise funds to support more than 100 children in care and to provide them with education, life skills, and opportunities. They aim to ensure that when these young people leave care at 18, they have the confidence, tools, and knowledge they need to excel and build successful futures.
