Grupo Scientia School

What Grupo Scientia School does

Grupo Scientia School is a Madrid-based cluster of educational solutions organized into three operating divisions — educational centers, digital transformation, and educational space management — supported by a transversal R&D+i unit. The Group originated in 2014 as the educational area of ATLAS Holdings, the corporate parent, and operates under the legal entity EDUNEXT SL (CIF B87183612). It serves the Spanish K-12 segment, functioning both as a direct operator of integrated schools and as a B2B provider of digital transformation and managed services to other educational institutions. The portfolio is structured across multiple brands: Ecreatus (digital transformation), ieducando and EDUNEXT (implementation partners), and Educar es todo (research and dissemination).

The core technology asset is HEDIA, an AI-powered platform for teachers that generates personalized learning situations and educational resources from a corpus of 20,000+ digital educational contents. HEDIA is built within the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem via a partnership with Microsoft España, which was formalized at a launch event held at Microsoft Ibérica on 2024-11-02, following the platform's initial release on 2023-11-02. Research output, including studies involving 3,800+ teachers and 1,708 participants in bullying-related work, is positioned as a thought-leadership asset, with collaborations involving Universidad UDIMA, Éxito Educativo, and the AI Observatory.

Revenue is generated through three primary channels: operation of integrated K-12 educational centers, digital transformation services delivered to schools (anchored by the Ecreatus brand and HEDIA platform), and management of educational spaces. The company is led by Francisco Guerrero as CEO of Grupo Scientia. Go-to-market is direct B2B to Spanish educational institutions, with no disclosed international expansion. The Group reports 19 employees and operates exclusively within Spain, with no external funding round disclosed.
