COLEGIO VIRGEN DEL CARMEN - CÓRDOBA

What COLEGIO VIRGEN DEL CARMEN - CÓRDOBA does

COLEGIO VIRGEN DEL CARMEN is a private Catholic K-12 school operating a single campus at Alonso el Sabio 14, Córdoba, Spain, under the ownership of the Discalced Carmelites Province of Andalusia (Convento S J Jose Carmelitas Descalzos Prov Andalucía). Founded circa 1958, the institution provides a continuous educational pathway from Educación Infantil through Bachillerato BIE (Research and Entrepreneurship Baccalaureate), with the latter offering Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Arts tracks. The school serves families seeking values-based private education with academic differentiation, evidenced by the highest PEvAU score in Córdoba province achieved by student Sofía Sierra and a Premio Extraordinario de Bachillerato 2023/2024 awarded to Fernando Alcaide.

The school's technology stack includes the Proyecto iCab iPad-based digital learning program (pioneering implementation in Andalusia), the PROGRENTIS neurofeedback-based skill development platform from Grupo Trébol, and the Conexión Educativa mobile app (developed by Small Solutions) for family payments via Google Pay or card, push notifications, and complementary-service management. Specialized services include the Aula EBE special-education classroom with therapeutic pedagogy, speech and language, and social-integration staff. International student exchanges operate through the ESN network (24 schools, 11 European countries) and Erasmus+ mobility programs.

Revenue is generated through tuition (quote-based, not publicly disclosed), uniform sales (exclusive SILBON brand via e-commerce and physical Librería y Papelería El Carmen), complementary services (aula matinal, cafeteria, school insurance), summer camp, and bookstore transactions. Distribution is concentrated in a single Córdoba campus, with no multi-site footprint. The institution is a religious nonprofit with no public listing, no funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue; it operates under the governance of a Prior (Francisco Jaén) and Director Titular (José Molina), supported by academic directors for Secondary/Bachillerato and Infant/Primary levels.
