Introduction
Diocesan Teaching Institutions, whose ownership is held by the Catholic Church - the Diocese of Bilbao, have a diverse origin and history, establishing themselves in different parts of the Biscayan territory.
- They began and still remain with a spirit to serve the Church and Basque People in their plural reality, their tongue and their culture by:
- integrating themselves in specific social sectors,
- facing new challenges:
- welcoming and integrating immigrants,
- dealing with new challenges and family units,
- renewing channels and means of evangelization,
- responding to the needs of the weak, children and the youth.
- As a Catholic school and centers of the diocesan community, they share their own unique Educational Project which is inspired by the Gospel:
- impeller of Christian values by means of dialogue between faith, culture and life,
- with an insertion in Pastoral Groups,
- in cooperation with diverse diocesan institutions,
- dawning from a commitment for peace and the improvement of social reality.
- As teaching institutions, they work for the utmost quality, innovation and continuous improvement not only in their management, but in their organizational infrastructure and educational and pedagogic model as well:
- professional management,
- teams which work cohesively,
- quality control certifications,
- learning through competences,
- scientific and humanistic quality,
- information and communication technology,
- plurilingualism and interculturalism,
- orientation and accompaniment systems,

- From its own Unique Character, they promote a model of a participating community (head, teaching staff, student body, families, non teaching staff, collaborators), which identify themselves and cooperate with the Centers’ Educational Project.
- The Parents’ Associations are made up within a Federation ("Bidelagun") in order to foster a sense of belonging to the Diocesan Centers’ group and collaborating and exchanging within itself and with other public and private institutions.
