Infanta Sofía is celebrating after receiving her final grades for the International Baccalaureate she completed at the boarding school in Wales. The news has sparked a wave of joy in Casa Real due to the excellent marks obtained by the youngest member of the family.
According to an official statement from Atlantic College in Wales, second-year program students received their academic results this Sunday, July 6. This marks the grand finale to a chapter that was celebrated with the graduation ceremony held last May 24.
Infanta Sofía receives great news
Infanta Sofía can now officially begin her well-deserved summer vacation. Two and a half months have passed since she finished the baccalaureate, but now is when she has received what she most desired.
As released through a statement, Infanta Sofía has already received her final course grades. This is a very important milestone because these marks will shape the course of her university decisions and her next immediate educational step.
After graduating on May 24 at the official ceremony, on that festive day the infanta received her diploma officially in front of her parents and classmates. Now, Casa Real has received the report that includes the grades obtained during the course. The boarding school itself has issued a statement extending its congratulations to all students, wishing them the best in this new stage.
The director of the school emphasized that these results do not fully define the learning, growth, or personal impact achieved over the past two years. Moreover, they joyfully celebrate the pride they feel for each of the students who, like Infanta Sofía, have been part of the boarding school. The statement also came with a message of hope and a reminder to Sofía and her classmates to value everything they have learned, not just the grades.
Although these have not been released, the youngest of the royals graduated with honors as was reported two months ago. Therefore, her final grades have been excellent and she can now fully enjoy the summer. They also open the doors to her next destination: university.
Infanta Sofía is ready to begin a new chapter
With the grades now known, Infanta Sofía can now start considering which university degree interests her with greater clarity and confidence. So far, there is speculation that she could study in Spain or possibly opt for international programs such as in the United States.
It is noted that Sofía shows an inclination toward international relations, technology, sciences, or engineering, that is, fields related to STEM that already attract her. Therefore, she has a wide range from which to choose the degree she likes most.
What is confirmed is that the infanta will not pursue military training like her sister, Princess Leonor. In her case, it is not mandatory, so Sofía has completely ruled out that option, choosing instead to continue studying.
The news of her grades arrived yesterday, Sunday, as a special sign for the young woman at Zarzuela, as it symbolizes the end of her international school stage. She can now calmly think about what to study, where to do it, and plan her next educational stage with complete freedom, while she enjoys the summer.
This plan includes the possibility of taking a gap year, a common practice among royals to reflect and confirm their personal goals. Her cousin Irene already did so, taking the opportunity to volunteer in Cambodia.
It doesn't seem to be the case for Infanta Sofía, as it is more than likely that in a few months she will enter university. Meanwhile, she is enjoying the summer in Spain after the end of her intense academic year in the United Kingdom and her reunion with family and friends.
