The “Estudio” School is a private, secular, non-profit school, created in 1940 by Jimena Menéndez-Pidal, Carmen García del Diestro and Ángeles Gasset, for the purpose of preserving and spreading the philosophy of the  Free Education Institution and the commitment to keep its educational model alive, conscious of the role of education as a driving force for a country’s social transformation.

The Origins of the Fundación Estudio lie in the “Estudio” School created in 1940 by Jimena Menéndez-Pidal, in close collaboration with Carmen García del Diestro and Ángeles Gasset. Being aware of the role of education as a driver of social transformation in a country, their intention was to preserve and disseminate the philosophy of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza and the commitment to keep its educational model alive.
