Fundación Educativa San José de Cluny

What Fundación Educativa San José de Cluny does

Fundación Educativa San José de Cluny is a canonical Catholic educational foundation established in 2018 by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny to govern a network of five concertada (state-funded private) schools in Spain. The foundation serves approximately 2,953 students and 2,005 families across locations in Madrid, Novelda, Pozuelo de Alarcón, Santiago de Compostela, and Vigo, delivering Catholic education from the infant stage through ESO (compulsory secondary) and post-compulsory Bachillerato. The organization employs 293 staff (231 professors and 62 administrative/support personnel), supplemented by 66 religious sisters from the Cluny congregation, which traces its origins to 1807 in France and has operated in Spain since 1903.

The foundation's revenue model combines three streams: public subsidies through the Spanish concertada system, family tuition fees, and donations channeled through Cluny Solidario. Programming is anchored in a Catholic educational project that includes specialized frameworks such as Plan EAS (affective-sexual education), Plan Pastoral, and the recently launched Plan Estratégico Institucional 2030, a multi-year strategic framework. The foundation holds institutional partnerships with Escuelas Católicas (the national Catholic education confederation, since 2022) and Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, and maintains compliance and safeguarding infrastructure including a whistleblower channel. Operational quality is signaled by the Sello Vida Saludable designation received in 2019.
