What Fundació Casa Asil - Sant Andreu de Palomar does

Fundació Casa Asil - Sant Andreu de Palomar (legal name: Fundació Privada Casa Asil de Sant Andreu de Palomar, NIF G08514978) is a private non-profit foundation founded in 1868 in Barcelona, Spain, registered in the Registre d'Entitats, Serveis i Establiments Socials. It operates three interconnected service pillars: Col·legi Sagrada Família (SAFA), a private Catholic school offering education from kindergarten through Baccalaureate (P3 to Batxillerat, ages 3-18) with nine flexible Baccalaureate itineraries, a Dual Diploma track with Academica Schools, and a lifeguarding certification course; Residència i Centre de Dia Casa Asil, an elderly residence and day center operating under the 'Com a Casa' (Like Home) person-centered care model; and the 'Vull Aprendre de Tu' intergenerational program, deepened in 2025 by the 'Fem Vincles' project, which creates stable biweekly bonds between school students and elderly residents across three residence wings.

The foundation is supported by ancillary services including the Escola d'Idiomes (English, German, French, plus Oxford Test preparation), Escola de Música (instruments, choir, chamber music), Escola d'Esports (basketball, football, volleyball), Activitats d'Estiu (Esplai ages 3-8 and Campus ages 8-16), a Taller de Memòria cognitive stimulation workshop, and the Auditori Xavier Bota rentable event space. It holds long-running international student exchanges with schools in Germany (Europaschule Bornheim), France (Besançon), and the United States (Scotch Plains, NJ), and maintains core municipal alignment with Ajuntament de Barcelona – Districte de Sant Andreu.

The revenue model is distributed across five streams: recurring tuition fees (P3-Batxillerat), recurring elderly care service fees, recurring subscriptions for language/music/sports extracurriculars (€27-46/month) and AFA association dues (€12/month), summer program fees, and donations/charitable support via an online donation platform (suma.casaasil.cat) and calendar sales. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on neighborhood referrals, open-door enrollment events (Portes Obertes), institutional social media presence across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, and WhatsApp/Telegram channels, and municipal/district collaboration. The technology stack is standard — WordPress CMS, the Alexia educational management platform for parent/student portals, Google Workspace, Microsoft Forms for volunteer registration, and WhatsApp Business API — with no proprietary technology, no mobile app, and no public API. The foundation reports only 18 employees, operates two physical sites in Barcelona (C/ Agusti i Mila 72-82 for headquarters and elderly services; C/ d'Arquimedes 60-68 for the school), and serves exclusively the Catalonia market.
