Colegio San Francisco Javier in Tudela, Navarre, Spain, belongs to the Society of Jesus. It includes secondary and baccalaureate along with departments for Special Education and for Special Vocational Training.[2] Most of the students at Compañía de María primary school move on to Javier.[3][4]

History

The first Jesuit school in Tudela was founded in 1600 in the old school of San Andres, partially surviving in the Official School of Languages next to the Plaza de la Judería. The Jesuit school moved to the present Castel Ruiz, until the Suppression of the Society of Jesus. In 1891 the city took over the school at its present location, with an enrollment 54 including boarders, but it then passed into the hands of the Jesuits. The statue of St. Francis Xavier was placed over the building around 1905.

After a few years of continuous expansion and flourishing, during the Second Republic the Jesuits were expelled and the school became an Institute for four years. In 1936 its expansion was restored and continued, which gave rise to the San José Vocational School (ETI) in 1953 that was transferred to the Government of Navarre in 1984. Xavier became coeducational in 1971 and the boarding school grew smaller, being closed in 1997. In 1979 the Quetzal group was founded, and the primary division passed over to the Society of Mary. The first lay director was appointed in 1995.

The Society of Jesus works with the lay staff and with the families to implement the Ignatian Pedagogy, to prepare students to live in a diverse society, to educate men and women for others,[5] and to collaborate with the educational initiatives of the Jesuit network in Spain.[6]

Curriculum

The baccalaureate is offered in Science and Technology and in Humanities and Social Science. Individual and group guidance are an integral part of the program, and includes the parents.[8] Six members of the staff form a department of orientation and treatment for diversity.[9]

The Special Vocational Training program prepares students with intellectual disabilities to work as office assistants. It is a four-year program and focuses on social insertion, work, and management of everyday life skills with personal autonomy.[10] Coursework covers the areas of logical-mathematical, communicative, socio-natural, and artistic-technological.[11]

The Special Education program for students with psychic disability provides a structured environment, adapted curriculum, and opportunities to develop social and communicative skills.[12]
