Kostka College Santander, Cantabria, Spain, was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1960 and gradually grew to include pre-primary through baccalaureate. It is named for the young Jesuit saint Stanislaus Kostka.

History

Kostka College in Santander, the seaside, capital city of the autonomous region of Cantabria in northwestern Spain, was established in 1960 in a building formerly used for a theater and youth club called "Kostka Congregation." It began offering the baccalaureate under the name Institute Jose Maria Pereda, but in 1968 it began expanding its offerings and took its present name.

In 1997 the present school building was constructed. Presently the infant, primary, secondary, and baccalaureate divisions are in accord with the guidelines of the Government of Cantabria.[1]

Kostka baccalaureate students are recruited by the admissions department of European University of the Atlantic, which has an emphasis on technology.[2]

Kostka is the first organization in Cantabria and only eleventh educational institution in Spain to receive the silver seal according to the EFQM Excellence Model for organizational excellence. The evaluation was done by Bureau Veritas.[3]

In this seaside city, introduction to boating is a part of the curriculum.[4]

In 2012, consistent with the outward thrust in its Ignatian ideals,[5] Kostka welcomed an exhibition that made people aware of the Millennium Development Goals.[6]
