What Col·legi Manyanet-Vilafranca does

Col·legi Manyanet-Vilafranca (Col·legi Sant Ramon de Penyafort) is a private Catholic school in Vilafranca del Penedès, Catalonia, Spain, founded in 1887 and operated by the Congregació Fills de la Sagrada Família, a religious nonprofit. It offers a continuous educational pathway from Nursery (Llar d'Infants, I0) through Compulsory Secondary Education (4th ESO), serving families in the Alt Penedès region with a faith-based, multiple-intelligences pedagogical model. The school provides four core educational stages (Nursery, Infant, Primary, Secondary) supported by specialized programs including EMAT (mathematics), Ludilletres/Superlletres (language), +Música (instrumental music from 3rd grade), STEM projects with Stanford University and UPC, and the Diploma Dual program (American High School Diploma alongside national credentials). Auxiliary services include cafeteria (with Ametller Origen), morning care (Acollida Matinal), extracurricular activities, summer camp (Casal d'Estiu), and a school guidance service.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tuition-funded: families pay annual subscription fees for education, with pricing not publicly disclosed and enrollment managed through direct contact with school administration. Revenue streams include tuition, cafeteria, extracurriculars, summer camp, and morning care. The school operates a single campus at Carrer Ferran 1, Vilafranca del Penedès, with no online or distance-learning delivery for core education. Marketing is conducted through the school website, monthly Manyanet newsletter, the Studio by Manyanet video channel, and a press office.

Technology underpins the "100% Digital School" model, implemented via Google Classroom, Alexia Suite Educativa (campus management), and device programs (Chromebooks for upper primary, iPads for lower cycles), with Mobile Guardian for device management. The broader technology stack includes Genially, Edpuzzle, Flipgrid, ClassDojo, Wakelet, WeVideo, Canva, MindMeister, Prezi, Powtoon, Scratch Jr., and Padlet for instructional design. Multilingual instruction (Catalan, Spanish, English, German) is supported through official Cambridge English and Goethe-Institut certification pathways, with AFS intercultural exchange programs. The school's data protection posture is GDPR/LOPDGDD-compliant with standard contractual clauses for international data transfers.
