Overview
- The regional Education Department has filed the school’s candidacy with the Council of Accredited European Schools, and the application remains under study with several phases to clear.
- Education chief Emilio Viciana announced the move at a Nueva Economía Fórum event, presenting it as the selected option after assessing requirements.
- The proposal was initiated by Cardenal Herrera Oria and is backed by its leadership, teachers, families and wider school community.
- The new bid follows the 2024 plan for Ramiro de Maeztu that was halted after parental opposition over space and perceived impacts on current students.
- If approved, the center would offer the European Schools curriculum and the European Baccalaureate within Spain’s public system, alongside the separate European School that already operates in Alicante linked to the EUIPO.
