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

History

Shoreless Lake School at Murcia (SLS) was founded in 1997 as the Spanish branch of Shoreless Lake School of New Jersey, established in 1991 by Reverend Alfonso Gálvez Morillas, president of the Society of Jesus Christ the Priest. It is a private, non-profit American school offering Catholic education for grades two through twelve. The main campus is in Totana on a property called La Isla, with a Student Activity Center in Mazarrón on El Pedregal, and it is not affiliated with any diocese. In 2000, the Spanish government recognized Mar Sin Orillas as the official non-profit to oversee finances, and SLS is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, offering an American curriculum with PSAT, SAT, and AP testing for graduates.

Community

Sports and co-curricular activities are a core part of student life, and students are encouraged to participate in these programs. The campus' proximity to natural spaces allows year-round hiking trips for students. The Student Activity Center in Mazarrón houses the main library, study center, chapel, cinema room, and playing fields, and provides housing for boys on weekends and vacations. Annual trips to Granada, Toledo, Burgos, and Madrid supplement the curriculum.
