New educational chapter in Igualada: Escola Pia takes the reins

by PREMIUM.CAT
La Congregación de las Capuchinas de la Madre del Divino Pastor (MDP) ha llegado a un acuerdo con la Escola Pia de Catalunya para dar continuidad al proyecto educativo de su escuela en Igualada a partir del próximo curso. Las hermanas han tomado esta decisión debido a la inviabilidad económica del proyecto, que les impide seguir desarrollando su labor educativa como hasta ahora. Sin embargo, mantendrán la comunidad y el vínculo que tienen con la ciudad desde hace más de 150 años, en la sede de la calle (8k, mejor calidad, obra maestra, muy detallado:1.1)

An agreement that marks the future of education

The community of the Capuchins of the Mare del Divino Pastor has decided to collaborate with the Escola Pia de Catalunya to ensure the continuity of its educational project in Igualada. This decision, taken due to the economic difficulties the school was facing, seeks to preserve the educational heritage that they have cultivated for more than a century and a half.

Commitment to the community and professionals

The entity that manages the MDP Schools has expressed that this difficult decision is based on the desire to guarantee the job security of current workers and to provide quality training to students and their families. As of September 1, 2025, the Escola Pia d’Igualada will assume the management of the center, maintaining educational activity in the current facilities until the end of the 2025-26 academic year.

Expansion plans and new facilities

Looking to the future, Escola Pia plans to build a new building that will house the Nursery and Infant stages. This new infrastructure will be located on the site adjacent to the current school, located at the intersection of Avinguda Àngel Guimerà and the Valls road, with the aim of offering more suitable spaces for teaching.

Transparency and communication with families

The nuns of the congregation have decided to communicate this transition to families in advance to reaffirm their commitment to transparency and sincerity. The open house, scheduled for February 1, will continue as planned, for all those families interested in learning about the project.

The future of MDP Schools in Catalonia

Despite this change in Igualada, the other seven schools that the Capuchin Congregation has in Catalonia, including the one in Capellades, will continue with their educational projects, maintaining the essence of their work.

An educational legacy that endures

The Pia School, with a history of almost three centuries in Igualada, faces this new stage with the aim of continuing to offer quality education, committed to Christian values ​​and with the responsibility of preserving the concerted educational offer in the city.
