Blanes Manyanet

What Blanes Manyanet does

Blanes Manyanet, legally Col·legi Santa Maria Pare Manyanet, is a Catholic concertada (subsidized private) school located in Blanes, Girona, Spain, operating under the Congregació de Fills de la Sagrada Família. The school delivers education across three stages — Educació Infantil (ages 3-6), Educació Primària (ages 6-12), and Educació Secundària (ages 12-16) — as a two-line school (dues línies) serving families in the Blanes and Costa Brava region. It is part of the broader Manyanet network, which comprises 8 schools across Catalonia and Alcobendas (Madrid) plus international presence in Latin America, the United States, and Cameroon, and has been operating locally for over 75 years.

The school's educational offering is anchored in proprietary pedagogical frameworks, including the Multiple Intelligences methodology based on Howard Gardner's theory, EntusiasMAT/EMAT and ONMAT mathematics programs, Ludilletres literacy, and early stimulation programs (Bits, PDM, musical stimulation). Technology infrastructure runs on Google for Education with a 1:1 Chromebook program from upper Primary through Secondary, shared iPads at earlier stages, LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robotics, Arduino, chroma studios, and interactive digital whiteboards in every classroom. A multilingual program (AICLE/CLIL with native English-speaking teachers) culminates in official Cambridge ESOL certifications, supported by a German partner-school exchange for 3rd ESO students. Supporting services include a psychopedagogical office, school cafeteria via Manyanet Serveis and Ametller Origen, morning childcare (Acollida Matinal), AMPA-managed extracurriculars, pastoral programs, and Escola Verda sustainability certification.

The business model is a hybrid of public subsidy and private tuition: as a concertada school, the Generalitat de Catalunya provides per-pupil funding across all three stages, while families pay tuition and ancillary fees. Go-to-market is event-driven — open-door days (Portes Obertes), personalized visits, a defined pre-enrollment window (typically March), and dual-channel distribution through the school's own campus and the Generalitat pre-inscripció portal. Distribution is amplified by an active content-marketing footprint (website, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, monthly newsletter "Més Manyanet", and the STUDIO by Manyanet videopodcast). The reported employee count is 6, though this likely understates total headcount given the multi-stage academic program and AMPA-managed services.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Brains International Schools: Group of private K–12 schools in Spain emphasizing bilingual education, technology and Cambridge tracks. Comparable to Manyanet Blanes on multilingual positioning and Cambridge certifications, but operates at a larger, multi-site scale.
• Agora Schools: Multi-brand private/concertada school group operating several sites across Spain (Agora, Pedralbes, etc.). Wider portfolio and broader geographic reach than Manyanet Blanes, but competes for the same fee-paying, multilingual family segment in Catalonia.

Direct peers

• Salesians Sant Jordi: Salesian Catholic concertada K–12 schools in Catalonia (Salesians Sant Jordi, Mataró, etc.). Direct peer — comparable size, religious orientation, vocational/values emphasis and concertada funding streams to Manyanet sites.
• Col·legi Manyanet Barcelona (Les Corts): Largest Manyanet sister site in Barcelona Les Corts. Shared brand, governance and pedagogical stack; useful as a benchmark for scale and pricing within the parent network.
• Col·legi Manyanet Molins de Rei: Sister school within the same Manyanet network serving Molins de Rei. Direct intra-network peer: same owner (Congregació de Fills de la Sagrada Família), same educational project, same methods (intel·ligències múltiples, EMAT, etc.).
• Jesuites Educació (Jesuïtes Catalunya): Jesuit concertada K–12 network operating multiple schools in Catalonia (e.g., Jesuïtes Sarrià, Jesuïtes Casp). Directly comparable to Blanes Manyanet in religious affiliation, concertada funding model, multilingual emphasis and values-based formation.
• La Salle Catalunya: La Salle / La Salleana Catholic concertada school network active in Catalonia, with a similar Infant–Secondary structure, pastoral programs and concertada financing. Competitive overlap for Manyanet families in shared municipalities.
• Escola Pia de Catalunya: Network of Catholic concertada schools across Catalonia offering Infant–Secondary education. Closest direct peer — same funding model (concertada), same religious-pedagogical orientation, and overlapping catchment regions with the Manyanet network. Comparable in scale per site and in the breadth of extracurricular and pastoral programs.

Emerging players

• British School of Barcelona: International/English-medium K–12 alternative in Barcelona region. Competes for multilingual, internationally minded families in Catalonia who might otherwise consider Manyanet's AICLE/CLIL English pathway.

Regional players

• Escola Montessori Blanes: Local alternative-pedagogy private school serving the same Blanes catchment. Competes with Manyanet's multiple-intelligences and early-stimulation messaging for families seeking non-traditional methods.
