The AMPA LUPA parent association supports governance and activities, and an extensive partnership network (Hospital Torrecárdenas, Cruz Roja Juventud, Fundación Cibervoluntarios, Policía Nacional, Natures S.Coop., Ayuntamiento de Almería, and others) extends programming in health, digital literacy, equality, and environmental education. Marketing and outreach are conducted via the school's WordPress website, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Instagram accounts, supplemented by local media coverage in Diario de Almería, La Voz de Almería, and Interalmería TV.
