What Jesuïtes Gràcia. Col·legi Kostka does

Jesuïtes Gràcia. Col·legi Kostka is a private Jesuit K-12 school located in the Gràcia neighborhood of Barcelona, Spain, founded in 1850 and operated by the Fundació Jesuïtes Educació, a nonprofit foundation. The school delivers education from nursery (0 years) through baccalaureate (18 years) organized in a "three-schools-within-a-school" structure: Escola Infantil (0-9), Escola Intermèdia (10-14), and Escola Secundària (15-18), and integrates the Escola de Música Kostka, a music school offering instruction to children, youth, and adults.

Its educational offering is structured around the Horitzó+ framework, which addresses five axes (21st-century competencies, critical thinking, personalized learning, global citizenship, and assessment for learning). International programming is a core differentiator, with student mobility via ERASMUS+, Dual Baccalaureate (Diploma Dual) providing a US high school diploma alongside the Spanish bachillerato, and additional international mobility programs. The school also operates the Kostka Verd environmental sustainability initiative and extracurricular activities across sports, culture, arts, and technology.

The business model is tuition-based recurring revenue from enrolled families, with pricing not publicly disclosed and prospective families routed through interviews and open-house visits. The school employs approximately 80 staff, has no disclosed revenue, no external funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no proprietary technology platform. It markets through its website, social media channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify podcast), open-door events, and direct enrollment at its single Gràcia campus.

Operates a comparable full-stage educational model (nursery through baccalaureate) with the same Horitzó+ Jesuit framework, making it the closest comparable peer within the same network.

• British School of Barcelona: Premium international private school in Barcelona serving both local and expatriate families through British curriculum.
