Main building

Colegio de la Inmaculada (Immaculate Conception's College in English) is a Catholic school for primary and secondary education (grades 1 to 12) run by the Jesuits in Gijón, Spain since 1890.

Established on the outskirts of the city of Gijón by the Society of Jesus at the end of the 19th century, it used to be a boys' school. Since 1972, it's a coeducational institution with about the same ratio of boys and girls. During the Spanish Civil War it was totally destroyed. The current facilities were reconstructed in 1941.

The school was visited by the following Superior Generals of the Society of Jesus:

The soccer program has an outstanding history of success, with several national championship titles and many players turning professional, including some international caps with the national team like Eloy, Manjarín or Bango. Basketball, handball and roller hockey teams also keep excellent winning records.

The school has two olympic gold medalists, Javier Manjarín in soccer (1992) and Ángela Pumariega in sailing (2012).
