Col·legi Maristes Valldemia

Col·legi Maristes Valldemia (English: Valldemia Marist College) is a Marist school for children in Mataró, Catalonia, Spain. The school's origins can be traced back to the Catalan Academy at the Can Miralpeix (English: View-of-the-Fish Home) New School at the Country Manor, founded in 1856 by Hermenegild Coll i Valldemia; some time later it was given to the Marist Brothers. The school was founded with the objective to provide a modern education, comprehensive and Christian. Thirty one years later, in 1888, the school acquired its current location on Carrer Sant Josep, in a building that later became known as the Valldemia School of Mataró.[1]

The school received its first international recognition at the Paris Exposition of 1900, a Gold Medal, in recognition of quality education. During the convulsive years that marked the Spanish Civil War, Valldemia was converted into a hospital and blood bank.[2]

Today,[when?] the school has 1200 students from ages 3 to 18, who are taught by a staff of 90 teachers.
