Centro San Valero is a non-profit educational institution founded in 1953 and headquartered at Violeta Parra 9, Zaragoza, Spain. It operates as the flagship educational entity of Fundación San Valero (CIF G50734979), within the broader Grupo San Valero conglomerate that also includes Universidad San Jorge, CPA Formación, Estudios Abiertos, and Fundación Dominicana in the Dominican Republic. The institution delivers a comprehensive educational continuum spanning Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO), Bachillerato (including a Dual American track), and vocational training (Formación Profesional) at basic, intermediate, and superior levels, available in both in-person and online modalities. It also runs employment-oriented programs, free digital transformation training funded by Next Generation EU, corporate training through a dedicated Área de Empresas, and social programs including the Centro Sociolaboral Casco Viejo.

The institution's technology stack centers on the SM-Educamos platform for student-family-teacher communication, Google Workspace for Education, and a 1-to-1 Chromebook program with Blocksi parental controls for ESO students. A dedicated virtual cycles platform supports online vocational training integrated with Edelvives digital textbooks. The recently established Canal Ético (ethics channel), administered by Coloriuris as an external qualified trust service provider, ensures compliance with EU Regulation 910/2014, Spanish Law 2/2023, and GDPR. No proprietary AI/ML capabilities are evident in the disclosed data.

The business model combines multiple revenue streams: public-funded concertado tuition for regulated educational stages (subsidized by Spain's Ministry of Education and the Aragón regional government), private FP tuition for cycles beyond subsidized quotas, corporate training revenue (including the flagship Advanced Business Transformation Program co-delivered with CEOE Aragón and CESTE), and publicly-funded digital transformation and employability programs. The center holds Erasmus+ certification, Pacto por la Generación D signatory status, and multiple management system certifications. It maintains approximately 101-250 employees and serves primarily the Aragón regional market, with international reach through Erasmus+ mobility programs and the Dominican Republic subsidiary.
