Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

In 1961 the Ramón y Cajal School was founded, born from the vision of José Luis Sanz Sánchez, who led the center until 1996. His humanist spirit kept the school committed to the best education and allowed it to evolve through the different stages in line with the founder's vision. In 1996, his son Mariano Sanz Montesa assumed leadership of the center and continued to guide the project with the same humanist spirit and commitment to teaching. Since then, the school's philosophy has balanced tradition with ongoing innovation. In 2024 Belén Muñoz Viejo, deputy director for more than 20 years and a former pupil, assumed the Directorship under Inspired, reinforcing our commitment to continuous training and educational excellence, while the humanist and family spirit of the Sanz family remains a distinctive hallmark of our community.

Community

Not all of us learn in the same way or at the same pace. Some need extra help in certain aspects, with specific techniques or more individualized support. CRC has a team of educational psychologists who assist students in a highly specific and individualized way, with monitoring from the early years to detect learning needs and adapt to each child's characteristics. The team also advises families and teachers to maximize each student's potential, and for older students offers university orientation through forums, events, and round tables. The School of Personal Growth provides training and coaching for students, families and teachers to improve attitudes and support the student's development, and includes the CRECEMOCIÓN project for developing emotional intelligence across all stages.
