We believe the best way to carry out a work of human,
intellectual and Christian formation is to carry it out together among families,
teachers and students.

The educational project
Educate upright and autonomous people
Gaztelueta is a charter school of differentiated instruction located in Leioa (Bizkaia). It was founded in 1951 as a result of the concern and social initiative of a group of parents who wanted their children to receive an education centred on individual treatment, respect for freedom and the promotion of personal responsibility, as well as a Christian sense of life.
