Escolàpies

What Escolàpies does

Col·legi Escolàpies Figueres is a concertada (publicly subsidised private) Catholic school operating in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain, serving families with children from age 3 through the end of upper secondary. As part of the Escolàpies educational network founded by Mother Paula Montal, the institution is governed under the Congregació de les Filles de la Nostra Senyora, with provincial oversight via Província Paula Montal and institutional backing from the Fundació Escolàpies foundation. The school delivers a continuous educational pathway spanning Infant Education (3–6), Primary Education (6–12), Secondary Education (12–16), Dual Baccalaureate, and Basic Vocational Training (FPB), with supplementary offerings that include extracurricular activities (Extraescolars), a summer school (Casal d'Estiu), a school radio (Ràdio Escolar), and a volunteer programme (Projecte VOL).

The pedagogical model emphasises multilingual instruction in Catalan, Spanish, English, and French, alongside innovative methodologies and values-based formation rooted in the Escolàpies Catholic tradition. Technology infrastructure is provided entirely through third-party SaaS: the Educamos SSO platform handles parent-student communication and school administration, Google Sites hosts the Ràdio Escolar content, Spotify carries the Pòdcast Fundació Escolàpies, and an online store supports merchandise sales. There is no proprietary technology platform, and no AI or advanced digital capabilities are described.

The revenue model is dual and recurring: family tuition contributions for educational services, supplemented by public subsidies from the Generalitat de Catalunya under the concertada funding framework. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on open door events (Portes Obertes), pre-registration campaigns, social media (Facebook, Instagram), and word-of-mouth among Figueres-area families. Distribution is entirely direct on-campus with no third-party channels, and pricing is not publicly disclosed. The school's 78 employees support a single-site operation with no disclosed plans for geographic expansion.
