San Jose College (Spanish; Castilian: Colegio San José) is a private Catholic primary and secondary school, located in Valladolid, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. The school was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1881 and teaches pre-primary, primary, high school (ESO), and baccalaureate.
