Colegio La Asunción - Montilla

What Colegio La Asunción - Montilla does

Colegio La Asunción - Montilla is a Catholic concertado (semi-private, government-funded) school located in a historic palace at Calle Don Diego de Alvear, 6 in Montilla, Córdoba province, Spain. Founded in 1953 when Francisco de Alvear y Gómez de la Cortina donated his house-palace to the Esclavas del Divino Corazón congregation, the school operates under the governance of Fundación Spínola, a non-profit foundation established in 2015 that runs 15 educational centers across Spain. The school serves students across four stages: Educación Infantil (0-6 years), Educación Primaria (6-12), Educación Secundaria (12-16), and from 2023 onward, the Bachillerato Dual Americano — a dual Spanish-American diploma program delivered with Academica Corporation. Core pedagogy combines Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory, cooperative learning, critical thinking, the Programa Inspira project-based methodology, and the Godly Play pastoral approach.

The school's technology stack is built on standard education platforms rather than proprietary systems. It uses Microsoft 365 for Education and Google Workspace for Education for student collaboration and document creation, and the Educamos platform (with Clickedu, Agora, Alexia, and Moodle as additional tools) for family communication and academic management. It employs 27 staff and runs a single physical campus supplemented by extraescolar activities (theatre, choir, sports), support services (Aula Matinal morning care, Comedor Escolar cafeteria), language immersion trips via Language Kingdom, and an inclusion partnership with Futuro Singular Córdoba. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via a multi-channel marketing mix (website, blog, six social platforms, Micole.net SEO ranking, campus visits, and family referrals) within the Montilla and Córdoba province catchment area.

Revenue flows from three streams: government concertado funding (per-pupil grants from the Junta de Andalucía for regulated Infant, Primary, and Secondary instruction), family tuition and fees for services not covered by public funding (extended care, cafeteria, extracurricular activities, language programs), and voluntary family donations including proceeds from community fundraising such as the Solidarity March. The school does not publicly disclose pricing or financial figures. It has no app, no public API, no patents or trademarks, and operates exclusively within the Spanish domestic market.
