Info

St. Ignatius College, Barcelona (Jesuïtes Sarrià-Sant Ignasi) belongs to the Catalonian Jesuit network of schools. It was founded in 1892 and is located in the Sarrià neighborhood of Barcelona. It purposes to train people capable of contributing to make society more open, fair, and inclusive, through fidelity to human, social and Christian values.
Jesuïtes Sarrià-Sant Ignasi currently offers kindergarten, primary, secondary high school, and vocational training; the compulsory part is government subsidized. The school strives to be innovative with an institutional climate of trust, responsibility, and freedom, facilitating the capacity for critical analysis and reflection to help students to be open to the challenges of each historical moment.
The main building, designed by Joan Martorell, is two neo-Gothic towers, baked brick facades, and windows with pointed arches. The annexes do not follow this architectural style but are based on concrete and functionality.
