Colegio Pureza De Maria

What Colegio Pureza De Maria does

Colegio Pureza de María Madrid is a private Catholic school (colegio concertado) located at Calle de Lira 10, Madrid, operating under the Congregación Pureza de María Santísima religious congregation. The institution delivers full-time education from age 3 (Educación Infantil) through 2nd year of Bachillerato (approximately age 18), organized across five stages: Infantil, Primaria, Secundaria, Bachillerato, and Bachillerato Dual. Its core educational offering is anchored in four pillars — Christian identity, innovation, internationalization, and digital/technological experience — and is differentiated by official Centro Bilingüe certification from the Comunidad de Madrid across all three core stages (obtained 2015, 2018, 2021), the BEDA bilingual programme, Cambridge English ESOL certification pathway, and a Dual Baccalaureate option delivering both the Spanish Título and an American High School Diploma via partnership with Academica.

The school's technology stack is operational rather than transformative: the Educamos platform (sso2.educamos.com) handles student management, academic tracking, and family communication with a companion mobile app, while proprietary pedagogical content includes the EMAT-ARIT active-mathematics methodology, the FOC faith-formation programme, and the Leader in Me leadership curriculum. Revenue is generated through recurring monthly tuition and ancillary service fees (dining via own kitchen, extracurriculars, extended care/permanencias, uniform sales), supplemented by Spanish government 'concierto' subsidies characteristic of the concertado model. Ancillary partners include Claris for school nursing, Deportes Moya for uniforms, and Erasmus+ for European student exchanges. Marketing is primarily event-driven, relying on scheduled 'Jornadas de Puertas Abiertas' open days, the school website, and organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) to drive enrolment through direct admission.
