Located in Granada, Spain, Colegio Virgen de Gracia was founded in 1943 as a preparatory school at the Minor Seminary. It was officially inaugurated as Colegio Virgen de Gracia in 2001. The school belongs to the Fundación Escolar Diocesana San Juan de Ávila, founded in 1953 to provide education in contexts where the State did not reach. The Foundation operates eleven centers across Granada, reflecting a network of Catholic schools and centers dedicated to Christian formation and quality education.
Semana Cultural is a school-wide Cultural Week that opens the Centre to the broader community and the city of Granada. In 2019, from February 11 to 16, the week included activities with students from the Foundation's Granada schools Virgen de las Angustias, Cerrillo de Maracena, San Agustín and Santa María Micaela. The program included a concert by the Virgen de Gracia choir and orchestra and a meeting to explain secondary education, plus workshops in science, robotics and mathematics. Cultural activities were held at various city spots (Plaza de Gracia, Plaza Bib-Rambla, Fuente de las Batallas). On February 14, the day of Saint Valentine, students distributed poems entitled “Love for Granada” to passersby; on February 15, Infantil organized “the Day of the Grandparents”; and the week closed on February 16 with a basketball match between CB Granada and FC Barcelona Lassa, attended by families.
