The school is rooted in Christian Humanism, focusing on the integral formation of the person through the pursuit of academic excellence, critical thinking, and the development of human virtues. It emphasizes a 'pedagogy of effort' and personal responsibility, aiming to prepare students to serve society with integrity, solidarity, and a sense of vocation. The educational approach is highly personalized, supported by a strong tutorial system that guides students in their academic and personal growth.

The school offers the Spanish Bachillerato curriculum with two main pathways: Sciences and Technology, and Humanities and Social Sciences. The programme is designed to bridge the gap between secondary education and university, focusing on advanced study techniques, critical reasoning, and deep subject mastery. It is complemented by interdisciplinary activities, laboratory work, and a structured mentoring project for all students.

The school reports a 100% pass rate in the EvAU university entrance exams and a 97% pass rate in 2nd-year Bachillerato. Students frequently achieve high marks, with an average of 8.1 in the general phase of the EvAU, and have received national and regional academic awards. Graduates successfully transition to prestigious university degrees, including medicine, engineering, and business management.

The school employs a dedicated Department of Orientation that provides personalized support for academic, personal, and family adaptation. Tutors and counselors work closely with students to develop study habits and techniques, while a school nurse (ATS) provides health services and educational health programming. The school also implements the 'MENTIS' program for mental health and provides specific training for staff regarding neurodiversity, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (TEA).

The admission process begins with an information request via the website, email, or phone. Applicants must then submit a formal application at the school secretariat, including academic records from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year of ESO. The process concludes with a mandatory in-person interview involving the student and their parents, followed by a notification of the admission decision within five working days.

The school operates on a standard academic calendar, with specific deadlines for financial aid applications typically occurring between mid-May and mid-June. The academic year includes regular assessment periods and concludes with university entrance examinations (EvAU).

The campus features specialized laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology-Geology equipped with advanced tools like microscopes, spectrographs, and gas extraction systems. It includes a library with 9,600 printed works, an IT lab with 37 computers, an 80m2 drawing studio, a 150m2 gymnasium, and a chapel/oratory. Other facilities include a dining hall, a technology classroom, a film library, and a salon de actos for events.

The school organizes interdisciplinary activities outside the classroom, such as team-based challenges in the Parque del Oeste that incorporate botany, history, and art. Students participate in projects like 'Junior CEU Emprende' to foster entrepreneurial skills, as well as theater, laboratory practices, and various pastoral initiatives. Additionally, the school hosts conferences, roundtables, and masterclasses through the 'CEU Orienta' program to connect students with university and professional environments.
