Colegio Escolapios Granada Genil - Dulce Nombre de María

What Colegio Escolapios Granada Genil - Dulce Nombre de María does

Colegio Escolapios Granada Genil - Dulce Nombre de María is a Catholic (Piarist/Escolapios) concertado school located at Paseo de los Basilios 2, 18008 Granada, Spain, operating as part of the Escolapios Emaús religious-education network and governed locally by an Equipo Local de Titularidad. The legal entity is COLEGIO DULCE NOMBRE DE MARIA (tax ID R1800586H), a non-profit private educational institution. The school delivers comprehensive education from Educación Infantil (age 3) through Bachillerato (pre-university, age 18), across core academic stages (Infantil, Primaria, ESO, Bachillerato) plus a suite of supplementary services including the proprietary Plan ELSE Bilingüe Propio bilingual program, extracurricular activities (sports, music via EscolaSound, choir, theater, robotics), pastoral and social-action programs via Itaka-Escolapios and the Calasanz Movement, family reconciliation services (Aula Matinal morning care, Aula de Tarde afternoon care, Cocina Propia on-site cafeteria), a guidance and inclusion department, and a school library.

The school's technology stack centers on ClickEdu as the educational management platform (student records, grades, attendance, communications, PASEN parent portal) with the data processor in Barcelona; Microsoft Office 365 provisioned to students and families through the Escolapios Emaús network agreement (50 GB email, 5 TB OneDrive, Office Online, up to 5 Office 2016 home licenses, plus a Microsoft Store discount); a school radio 'Escolapios en la Onda'; a Virtual Classroom (Aula Virtual); and robotics/AI instruction integrated across grade levels. Academic outcomes are a recurring emphasis, with 100% PEVAU pass rates cited across multiple years, multiple top-30 placements in the UGR district (Martina G. achieving the 2025 top score, third time in eight years a school student achieved this), and wins in First Lego League, Construye Tu Futuro engineering competitions at ETS Caminos UGR, UGR Olympiads in Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics/Economics, and ZINKERS circular-economy awards.

The business model is a three-stream hybrid. First, government concertado funding (subvención concertada) covers regulated levels (Infantil, Primaria, ESO) for publicly-funded spots, functioning as a recurring public-per-pupil subsidy. Second, family-paid tuition and fees fund ancillary services (Aula Matinal, Aula de Tarde, cafeteria via Ausolan with on-site Cocina Propia, Polideportivo Genil rentals, extracurriculars, optional private English via IML). Third, Bachillerato operates as a non-concertado private level with full family-paid tuition. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the school's secretaría, official Junta de Andalucía admission periods, annual Open Days (Jornadas de Puertas Abiertas), the institutional website (granada.escolapiosemaus.org), active social channels (Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube), the Revista Genil magazine, and word-of-mouth referrals through the Escolapios Emaús and Itaka-Escolapios networks. The primary customer segment is families with children aged 3-18 in Granada and surrounding areas seeking values-based bilingual education, with a secondary alumni segment maintained via the ALUMNI program.

Broad incumbents

• SEK International Schools: Spanish-founded international education group operating private K-12 schools (including international/bilingual tracks) across Spain and globally. Closest Spanish-rooted incumbent comparable to a concertado school with bilingual programming, sharing Iberian market context and family demographic.
• Nord Anglia Education: Global operator of premium international K-12 schools with 80+ campuses worldwide. While not a concertado school, it represents the broader premium K-12 private education space with similar tuition-driven model and academic excellence positioning, including international/IB curriculum focus that overlaps with the school's bilingual offerings.
• Cognita Schools: International K-12 schools group operating 100+ schools across multiple countries. Comparable as a broad incumbent in private K-12 education with similar revenue mix of tuition and ancillary services, though typically higher fee tier than Spanish concertado schools.
• Inspired Education Group: Global premium K-12 school operator with campuses across Europe, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. Directly comparable as a multi-brand operator of premium private schools with similar academic excellence positioning and bilingual/multilingual curriculum emphasis.

Emerging players

• Maple Bear Global Schools: Network of bilingual (English-language immersion) schools operating globally with franchise model. Comparable on the bilingual education differentiation angle, particularly relevant given the school's Plan ELSE bilingual program, though focused on earlier years rather than full K-12.
