Col·legi Sant Ermengol is a Catholic private school of the Spanish education system in Andorra la Vella, from Educació Infantil to Batxillerat. It was founded by the Bishop of Urgell and Co-Prince of Andorra Ramon Iglesias Navarri (founding act of 1965) and opened in October 1966 with 70 students. For fifty years it was run by the Salesians, and since 2016 by the «Institut de les Germanes de la Sagrada Família d'Urgell» (Sisters of the Holy Family of Urgell). The school stands on Roc de Sant Pere; a covered heated pool has operated since 1981, and the youngest children study in the separate Falgueró building. Lessons are taught in Catalan: the whole website, the application form and letters to families are in Catalan, and in the ESO textbook list for the 2026-2027 school year mathematics, biology and physics are in Catalan, with only «Lengua castellana y literatura» in Spanish; in Batxillerat some textbooks are Spanish. In 2023 the school received the «Escola Multilingüe» (multilingual school) certificate and prepares students, optionally, for Cambridge, DELF and DALF, DELE and Goethe exams. The school runs an ISO 9001 quality system.

About the fees Tuition is free for families: the school is funded by the Government of Andorra. The school itself names no tuition fee; the Spanish Ministry of Education, describing the education system in Andorra, names only Agora International School and The British College of Andorra as fee-paying.
Admissions Parents or guardians apply in person at the school office during the pre-registration period set by the Government of Andorra (usually February and March). The application must include a copy of the student's Andorran passport or DNI and/or a copy of the residence permit («permís de residència»), from Primària on the latest school report; for Batxillerat a certificate of the average grade for 1r-3r d'ESO «o cursos equivalents d'altres sistemes educatius» (or equivalent years in other education systems). The form asks for nationality and home language. If applications exceed places, admission criteria apply; the order of submission does not affect admission. Admitted students complete enrolment at the school office and then register it with the Government or parish Tràmits service.
Stages and year groups Grades Infantil (2,5-5 anys), Primària 1r-6è, ESO 1r-4t, Batxillerat 1r-2n. The school is officially authorised for two classes per year in the second cycle of Educació Infantil, two in Primària, two in ESO, and Batxillerat in «Ciències, Tecnologia, Humanitats, Ciències Socials i Arts» (science, technology, humanities, social sciences and arts; arts since the 2025-2026 school year). The youngest class is for children aged 2,5. Infantil is in the Falgueró building, Primària, ESO and Batxillerat in the Fundacional building.

MEFPDMinistry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports of Spain
A school of the Spanish education system abroad: run by the Spanish state, or a private Spanish school supervised by the ministry, or a school under an agreement with the ministry. The curriculum is Spanish, and leavers receive the Spanish certificate. Every such school is named in Spain's state register of schools, each with its own code.
What the badge means for this school. This is a Spanish school abroad, and that can be checked in Spain's state register. The entry is not a quality inspection: a school is on the register as part of the Spanish system, not as the outcome of an assessment. The curriculum and the certificate are Spanish. What other programmes the school offers, and what it charges, are on its own website. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.

What this means for this school. The programme is set by the Spanish Ministry of Education, which also names the school in its state register of schools, in the "abroad" section. Leavers receive Spanish qualifications: the Graduado en ESO after secondary school and the título de Bachiller after the baccalaureate.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
