Marianistas

What Marianistas does

Colegio Santa María del Pilar – Marianistas Zaragoza is a private Catholic K-12 institution located on a single campus at Paseo de los Reyes de Aragón in Zaragoza, Spain, operated by the non-profit Fundación Educativa Marianista Domingo Lázaro and affiliated with the international Marianist religious order founded in 1817. The school delivers a continuous educational pathway from Aulas de 2 años (age 2) through three Bachillerato tracks (Ciencias, Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades, and Artístico), serving children and adolescents aged 2–18 under a concertado model in which Infantil, Primaria, and ESO stages are partially government-funded while Bachillerato is fully private. Specialized offerings include three preferential TEA (Autism Spectrum Disorder) classrooms operating since the 2011/2012 academic year, a Guidance Department, and a Pastoral program organized around Marianist faith formation.

The school's product surface extends well beyond core academics to a broad extracurricular portfolio (English Club, Aula de Música, Somos Deporte, Ajedrez en la Escuela, Club de Patinaje, Grupo Scout Santa María 27), ancillary services (Comedor Escolar, Autobús Escolar, Biblioteca, Enfermería), summer programming (Pekecamp), and adult extracurricular courses. Technology infrastructure is limited to standard, off-the-shelf EdTech: the Educamos platform (Plataforma Educativa) for parent/student academic management, embedded YouTube video, Google Analytics 4, and an SSL-protected website with GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie management. Academic differentiation is layered through partnerships, including Diploma Dual with Academica (US-Spanish dual diploma), Erasmus+ European exchange, the WE Itinerary social-action program in collaboration with Cruz Roja, and the Ubuntu Zircus anti-bullying initiative with Fundación Ibercaja and Somos Ubuntu.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees and per-pupil public concertado funding, supplemented by ancillary services, summer camps, and adult programming. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; families are directed to contact administration via [email protected] or [email protected] for enrollment terms. The go-to-market relies on direct enrollment from local Zaragoza-area families, supported by an active social media presence (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), the AMPA parent association referral network, alumni network, open days, and earned local press coverage of student achievements such as the third-best PAU score in Zaragoza earned by student Marilia Barrera (13.94) in 2026.
