Psychopedagogical guidance supports the emotional and educational development of younger pupils.

The school environment strives to be safe, positive, respectful, and conducive to wellbeing.
The school provides education for all types of pupils, with special attention to diversity, including students with learning difficulties and those with high abilities. An admission process includes an initial report that goes to the tutor to adapt the classroom and address each student's needs.

The Infant stage includes psychopedagogical orientation to support emotional and educational development, reinforcing the school's commitment to inclusive education.
The school runs a bilingual learning process (Spanish-English) following the Spanish curriculum, beginning in Early Education and continuing through the subsequent stages.

In secondary and Bachillerato, language learning is organized by skills with Cambridge exam preparation, and Trinity Stars exams are available from infancy. The center is a Cambridge ESOL exam center and supports preparation for Cambridge international exams. Exchanges with Germany and France occur in 4th ESO, and there are summer study opportunities in English-speaking countries.
