It was founded in 1907 by the Society of Mary, a Roman Catholic teaching order of priests and religious brothers, who still continue to operate the institution.[2] Founded as a boys' school, it first admitted girls in 1978 and progressively became fully co-educational.[3] El Pilar has educated one Spanish Prime Minister and numerous prominent public figures in the history of Spain.
