FOMENTO DE CENTROS DE ENSEÑANZA SA
Fomento de Centros de Enseñanza, S.A. is a Spanish public limited company (sociedad anónima) registered in Spain under NIF/CIF A28126597, incorporated in Madrid on 22 January 1964 and recorded as active with the Madrid Commercial Registry (Registro Mercantil de Madrid). Its registered address is Travesía de la Costa Brava 6, 28034 Madrid.
The company operates within Spain’s private education sector, classified under CNAE code 8531 (general secondary education). Fomento de Centros de Enseñanza was established in the early 1960s by a group of families and educators seeking schools built around personalised teaching and parental involvement, with a Catholic religious character; the first school in the network, Colegio Ahlzahir, opened in Córdoba in the 1963-64 academic year. The organisation has since grown into a network commonly referred to as "Fomento," comprising dozens of schools and early-years centres across multiple Spanish autonomous communities, alongside affiliated regional entities that operate under related but separate legal registrations. Since 1997 the wider Fomento network has also included Centro Universitario Villanueva, a university centre affiliated with the Universidad Complutense de Madrid offering degrees in law, business, communication, education and psychology.
According to commercial-registry-based data (Axesor, retrieved September 2026), the legal entity itself reported 2,607 employees and annual sales exceeding €50,000,000, with share capital above €1,000,000; these figures describe Fomento de Centros de Enseñanza, S.A. specifically rather than the wider multi-entity Fomento network, which includes separately registered regional companies.
Fomento de Centros de Enseñanza, S.A. is not listed on any stock exchange. In 2026, the Madrid Commercial Registry recorded a merger by absorption that consolidated an affiliated textbook-publishing business into Fomento de Centros de Enseñanza, S.A., a development addressed further in the group-structure section of this profile.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Fomento de Centros de Enseñanza, S.A.
Official Spanish commercial-registry filings identify Fomento de Centros de Enseñanza, S.A. (CIF A28126597) as a sociedad anónima unipersonal (S.A.U.) — a single-shareholder public limited company — as reflected in a merger notice published in the Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil (BORME) on 8 May 2026, which refers to the company throughout as "Fomento de Centros de Enseñanza, S.A.U." This unipersonal status means legal ownership rests with one shareholder rather than being spread across multiple parties.
The identity of that sole shareholder was not disclosed in the Spanish registry notices and commercial-data summaries reviewed for this profile. Zavia.ai’s own registry-sourced shareholder data for this company (last synced 17 September 2026) likewise records no shareholder filing, noting only that shareholder disclosures for Spanish companies are filed separately with the Registro Mercantil and the Registro de Titularidades Reales and may not always be publicly displayed. No percentage shareholding can therefore be reported.
Data availability
Shareholder information for this company is classified as Restricted: the single-shareholder (unipersonal) status is confirmed by an official registry filing, but the identity of the sole shareholder is not available in the sources reviewed.
