The Mission at Colegio San José is to provide a complete education based on the values of integrity, respect, hard work and solidarity through high-quality teaching, and to develop students' skills so that they receive a personal, intellectual and academic education in line with the future challenges facing society.

Its educational model combines academic tradition, humanistic culture and innovative teaching methods. The Colegio San José project is rooted in a clear philosophy: the student is at the heart of the educational process and is supported in their intellectual, emotional, social and ethical development.

‘We think, we research, we reflect and we communicate’: this is the foundation upon which an academic and personal journey is built, one that respects the diversity and uniqueness of each student, encourages critical thinking and an international outlook, and prepares students to be agents of change in a global society.

Academic training is combined with education in values through the complementary curriculum: Respect, companionship, coexistence and teamwork are values that are fostered in its students through a series of sporting, artistic, and cultural activities that also include caring for the environment and forging a commitment to society, a globalized society with which they must interact.

It offers all stages of the education system: Infant School, Primary School, Secondary School, all the modalities of the LOMLOE Baccalaureate, and the IB Diploma Programme.

The School has been immersed in the International Baccalaureate (IB) methodology through the Diploma Programme for nine years, and follows the IB Middle Years Programme for Secondary School students at its two centres in Estepona and Marbella.

Colegio San José is committed to the development of knowledgeable and informed young people who can contribute to a more peaceful world.

It is also included in the list of the 100 Best Private Schools in Spain published by Micole.net, a leading digital platform for searching for educational centres.
