The SanPa Family


The SanPa Family is one of the biggest alumni organisations in Spain, with over 6,000 members. Since the school's foundation in 1958, we have had the honour of educating many generations of students across our different campuses in Madrid. Attending San Patricio means you are more than just a student; you become part of the SanPa Family, benefitting from a lifetime of friendships and opportunities. The SanPa Family organises benchmark sessions, alumni events and parties with former students to ensure they never lose contact. Our alumni will travel from different parts of the world to ensure they don't miss a SanPa reunion!

Through our Alumni organisation, Colegio San Patricio aims to facilitate a lifelong, mutually beneficial connection between the school, our former students and previous parents and staff members. Our school supports the alumni community throughout their lives, from prioritising the enrolment of their children to facilitating relationships between different former students and their businesses or needs. We are also incredibly proud to welcome past graduates back to the school to meet current students and inspire them with their personal university and professional achievements.

Get Inspired by Our SanPa Family Success Stories


Every year, 90% of our San Patricio graduates advance to their first-choice university among the best private and public institutions in Spain and around the world, including schools in the globally respected Russell Group in the UK. 

Over the years, our more than 6,000 alumni have progressed to successful careers in a variety of fields, and many have chosen San Patricio for their children's and grandchildren's education. Their success stories, some of which you can read below, make us extremely proud and are just an example of the life that awaits your child after completing their education at Colegio San Patricio Madrid.

I studied at Colegio San Patricio from ages 3 to 18, and I have very happy memories, both from Serrano and later from El Soto de la Moraleja. After graduating, I studied law at ICADE, spent a year in the United Kingdom, completed a Master's at the Instituto de Empresa, and began my professional career at EY Abogados, where I worked in the Madrid and New York offices. Presently, I work in the M&A and international tax department at KPMG Abogados, a company where I have been a partner for 10 years. I have always identified strongly with Colegio San Patricio's academic approach, and now, my two daughters are studying at the Serrano campus. I believe that the school's educational culture of high standards and Christian values provides an excellent foundation for my daughters.

I can proudly say that I have spent my entire school life at Colegio San Patricio: first in La Moraleja, and later in El Soto. I have wonderful memories of my time at both schools, of the friends I made and still have, of the teachers who not only taught their subjects but also guided and prepared us for adult life. I went to university and started working, but I never forgot the school and the affection I felt for everything surrounding it. So, as soon as I had the opportunity, I came back, and now I work at the San Patricio Foundation. As the saying goes: 'Where you have been happy, you will always return'.

My school years were happily spent at Colegio San Patricio, and upon graduation, I studied Chemical Sciences. At present, I work for Agilent Technologies Spain, SL, a leading company in instrumentation for Chemical and Bioscience Analysis. Having studied at San Patricio has equipped me with an education, values, and training that have opened doors both in my personal and professional life. Being part of the SanPa family means that, to this day, I still have my friends and a very special and close connection with what will always be my school.

I have a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and currently work as the Medical Director at Clovis Oncology. I take pride in being an alumnus of Colegio San Patricio because SanPa is not just a school, it's a community to which one belongs for a lifetime. Those of us fortunate enough, thanks to our parents, to be part of it, know what we mean. As time goes by, you realise that, beyond the academic education received, the most important and valuable aspects are all the friends and classmates you made over the years (who curiously remain generation after generation), and the values the teachers instilled in students, gradually sinking in almost without us realizing it: respect, effort, interest, solidarity, collaboration.

Currently, our children are studying in the San Patricio La Moraleja campus. They are happy, and so are we. The school has evolved a lot in terms of teaching methods and facilities. However, I feel that the values and traditions that make a difference between this school and others are still upheld. I hope Inés and Jaime find as good friends as I was fortunate to find and enjoy everything that Colegio San Patricio continues to offer its students: learning, sports, culture, art, and, above all, humanity.
