What systemic factors are driving this merger, and how does this action reflect broader trends in Spanish education?

This merger follows a similar trend among other Opus Dei schools facing the same funding loss due to Spain's Lomloe education law, mandating co-educational classrooms. By privatizing, these schools aim to maintain their single-sex model, a strategy previously employed by Viaró and Canigó schools, which merged last year for the same reason. This demonstrates a proactive response to the changing educational landscape and illustrates a strategic shift towards private education within the Opus Dei school system.
