history

More than 80 years of history

Founded in 1940 by the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the school has more than 80 years of experience in the comprehensive training of children and young people, from one Christian view of the person, life and the world. Our values include excellence, justice, solidarity, ethics, respect, integrity and quality.

The Congregation established its first community in Barcelona in 1922 with the church on Calle República Argentina no. 230. The College was founded in the year 1940 on Carrer Diputació no. 250. The current headquarters on Avinguda Vallvidrera no. 10 dates from 1961. It was expanded in 1975 by merging with the Perpetual Adoration College of the SSCC nuns which was located at Passeig de Reina Elisenda no. 8. Currently, only the headquarters on Avinguda Vallvidrera is preserved.
