Students make their own books and give great importance to the humanities; Literature, letters, and art are fundamental; they teach subjects such as opera history. Actors such as Juana Acosta, Ernesto Alterio, and Najwa Nimri have sent their children to this school, including two simple chalets in Colonia del Viso. They teach the Primary stage, and the students who pass through here usually go in high school to alternative centers such as the Study School or the European High School.
