La Salle La Paloma

What La Salle La Paloma does

La Salle La Paloma is a concerted (publicly-funded private) Catholic school located at Calle de la Paloma, 21 in the La Latina district of Madrid. Operating under the legal entity Colegio La Salle La Paloma Fundación Lara and the Sector Madrid office of La Salle España – Distrito ARLEP, it delivers Educación Infantil (Early Childhood Education) and Educación Primaria (Primary Education) for children aged roughly 0 to 12. The school is part of the global Red de Centros La Salle, which claims approximately one million students across 77 countries, and the campus itself cites 100+ years of pedagogical experience. Its educational model is anchored on shared La Salle methodologies — including the BEDA English program, Lectura Eficaz, Cálculo Mental, Aprendizaje Cooperativo, and Inteligencia Lateral — delivered alongside Christian-humanist formation and Lasallian values.

The technology stack is modest and operational rather than differentiated: the internal SALLENET portal handles administration and family communication, the website uses Google Analytics, and the school publishes a Plan Digital de Centro. No public APIs, mobile applications, or proprietary digital products are offered. Complementary student-support services include Departamento de Orientación (guidance), Logopedia (speech therapy), Horario Ampliado (extended care), Comedor (cafeteria), and a robust Actividades Extraescolares program delivered through external partners (Washi, Robimp, Afectiva, Escuela Teatro Cuarta Pared, Escuela Baloncesto B.J.C., Madrid School of Languages), with native English conversation assistants sourced via Escuelas Católicas de Madrid.

The business model is a hybrid concerted-private education revenue stream: per-pupil public funding from the Comunidad de Madrid is supplemented by regulated tuition and a slate of fee-based ancillary services (extended hours, meals, extracurriculars, uniforms). Distribution is direct to families — primarily through the school's website, Instagram, personalized on-campus visits, and Madrid's regional admission system. The school's Family Association (AFA), established in 1983, reports over 90% family membership, indicating high community engagement. No revenue, enrollment, or pricing figures are publicly disclosed.
