Fundació Collserola

What Fundació Collserola does

Fundació Collserola is a non-profit educational foundation registered in Barcelona, Spain (Catalan Foundation Registry Number 881, CIF G-60782448), tracing its institutional lineage to the 1926 founding of Institut Tècnic Eulàlia. The foundation operates a network of three coeducational schools — Escola Frederic Mistral-Tècnic Eulàlia, Escola Avenç, and Escola Ramon Fuster — delivering private education from kindergarten (Infantil) through Batxillerat, with International Baccalaureate and Diploma Dual programs available. Headquarters are at Passeig Sant Gervasi 83-85 in Barcelona, and the foundation employs 101-250 people.

The foundation supplements its academic offering with a cultural and community program stack, including the 'Reflexions a l'escola' lecture series (run with Editorial Arcàdia), 'Diàlegs d'Escola' dialogues, the 'Amics del Teatre' theater group, curated reading proposals across school libraries, and long-running partnerships with Fundació Joan Miró, Fundació Foto Colectania, Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès, Cambridge English, and the EU Erasmus+ programme. A sales-led go-to-market relies on annual pre-inscription periods and personal interviews for prospective families. Revenue is generated through recurring tuition fees that are not publicly disclosed, and the foundation maintains an intranet platform for students, families, and staff as its core technology asset.

In February 2026 the foundation marked the centenary of Institut Tècnic Eulàlia at the Palau de la Música Catalana and simultaneously launched an updated Projecte Educatiu. It was selected in December 2025 for the Erasmus+ KA122-SCH mobility project running through March 2027, reinforcing its international positioning. Governance rests under Catalan foundation law with no parent company or private equity ownership, and four linked foundations (Cim d'Estela, Institut de Psicologia, Bellaire, Xiprers) extend the institutional footprint beyond the schools themselves.
