Past, present and future
Our School was founded in 1886 by Mr. Francisco de Paula Ruiz Estévez, and eleven years later, it passed into the hands of Mr. José María Rey Repetto. Since then, the Rey family has been leading the Center, preserving its style and its foundational values.
We are also the only private school in Seville that has maintained its original location in the city center, in the heart of the historic district

Milestones
Starting from 2040, when our students in Early Childhood Education begin their professional lives, there will be new professions that we can only imagine right now. That's why we educate them to adapt to new environments and tools.
In a rapidly evolving, globalized world with a high life expectancy, the ability to update educational institutions is essential.
Permanent learning and versatility in sources of knowledge are more important than ever. Not only will they live longer, but they will do so in a constantly changing world, so they will have to update their knowledge and adapt their learning methods accordingly.
