Its first naming was «Colegio de Cataluña», and was located at the land of the ''masia'' (traditional Catalan manor) of ''Can Miralpeix''. The school had the objective to provide a modern and Christian education. Beyond 1858 was known as «Col·legi de Valldemia» or «Colegio de Valldemia» .〔It is named in both languages in different bibliography, according to the bilingual "statu quo" in different historic moments in Catalonia〕 In 1888 was given to the Marist Brothers to run it, till nowadays. 〔 〕 〔 〕 From 2012 the official name is "Maristes Valldemia".〔 The main building was designed by the architect Jeroni Boada,〔 and posteriorly improved in 1911 by Josep Goday i Casals (who used to be an alumn of the school, and founder member of the Alumni Association).
