Fundación Escolapias Montal

Fundación Escolapias Montal is a Spanish educational foundation that operates a network of Catholic schools under the Escolapias tradition. Its motto, "Humaniza, Evangeliza, Innova" (Humanize, Evangelize, Innovate), summarizes its approach: combining human formation, Christian values and educational innovation. The foundation's schools are located in the regions of Madrid, Andalucía and Extremadura, with individual centres in cities such as Alcalá de Henares, Cabra, Madrid (Carabanchel and Puerta de Hierro), Cercedilla, Córdoba and Mérida. The network includes both full schools and early-childhood education centres. The foundation offers a broad educational range. It provides Educación Infantil in two cycles from 0 to 6 years, Educación Primaria, Educación Secundaria, Bachillerato, and Basic Vocational Training (Formación Profesional Básica) for students who have not completed ESO and wish to continue toward vocational studies. The schools aim to develop students' capabilities from an early age, foster values education and key competences, and prepare students for university or higher vocational training. As a foundation, it is a non-profit entity with a religious and educational mission. Its public identity is tied to the Escolapias (Piarist Sisters) congregation, founded by Saint Paula Montal, which has a long history in Spanish education. The foundation coordinates the educational work of its associated schools, manages their administration and promotes a shared educational project. Its website serves as a central hub for information about the schools, their locations, educational offerings and institutional events such as the Provincial Chapter 2025 and the Escolapias Symposium 2026. While the foundation does not appear to be listed on any stock exchange and operates as a private non-profit, it plays a significant role in the Spanish educational landscape, particularly in the regions where its schools are present. The network's schools are recognized for their commitment to a holistic education rooted in Christian values and social responsibility.

The Fundación Escolapias Montal is rooted in the educational charism of the Escolapias (Piarist Sisters), a religious congregation founded by Saint Paula Montal in the 19th century. The congregation has a long tradition of educating children and young people, especially girls, in Spain. Over time, the schools founded by the Escolapias in various Spanish cities were grouped under a foundation to ensure their continuity and shared mission. The foundation takes its name from Paula Montal, reflecting its identity and heritage. The foundation currently coordinates a network of schools in the regions of Madrid, Andalucía and Extremadura. Its schools include historic centres such as Colegio Calasanz in Alcalá de Henares, Colegio San José in Cabra, Nuestra Señora de las Escuelas Pías in Carabanchel, Colegio Regina Assumpta in Cercedilla, Colegio Calasancio and Colegio Santa Victoria in Córdoba, Colegio Santa Eulalia in Mérida, and Colegio La Inmaculada in Puerta de Hierro, as well as early childhood schools in Madrid. These schools offer a comprehensive educational project from 0 to 18 years, including early childhood, primary, secondary, Bachillerato and basic vocational training. In recent years, the foundation has emphasized innovation in education, as reflected in its motto "Humaniza, Evangeliza, Innova." It organizes events such as the Provincial Chapter 2025 and the Escolapias Symposium 2026, which bring together educators and stakeholders to reflect on the future of its educational mission. The foundation maintains a website that provides information about its schools, educational offerings and institutional activities. While specific founding dates and historical milestones are not detailed in the available evidence, the foundation represents a contemporary organizational structure for a long-standing educational tradition.
