Timon

Colegio Timón is a semi-private educational center located in Madrid, in the San Blas-Canillejas district. It was founded in October 1962, driven by the trust and enthusiasm of several families, two teachers, and an initial group of twenty students. It belongs to the Spanish Adventist Union and is part of the worldwide network of Adventist educational centers. It defines itself as confessionally Christian and bases its educational approach on values such as freedom, justice, peace, solidarity love, equality, tolerance, and hope. It incorporates contributions from Reformed Christianity, and its Adventist affiliation places hope as a decisive value. Its motto is "Hope, present and future."

It offers early childhood education, primary education, compulsory secondary education (ESO), and Bachillerato (upper secondary, ages 16–18). Its educational proposal is based on the values of the Gospel and welcomes students without economic, ideological, or ethnic filters, without discrimination based on intellectual level, academic record, or purchasing power. In its classrooms, there is representation from sixteen nationalities. The center maintains a relationship based on affection, trust, and respect among the different members of the educational community. It defines itself as a Christian school but not a religious one, without proselytism or exclusion, and seeks personal pedagogical and human attention for each student, considering their characteristics and differential traits. Its staff works with a methodology that promotes the harmonious development of physical, mental, and spiritual capacities within a comprehensive conception of the person. It collaborates with governmental, municipal bodies, and families.
