In 1816 a school for girls was created in a room of the house of the mandada, property of the convent that is still preserved. This school was for girls from the town, but if there was enough space, girls from outside could attend, choosing the poorest and neediest ones. Originally, the nuns were the teachers, with a rigorous protocol for the beginning and end of the classes, so as not to break the enclosure. In 1858, it was agreed to rebuild the demolished building called “La Cofradía” to house the children’s school on Main Street.
Later, the school would occupy a new building in front of the Portal del Estudio, outside the walls, which still preserves the inscription: “ESCUELA DE NIÑOS” (SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN). Today, in what used to be the sacristy of the convent, the furniture and equipment of the children’s school is on display, including the abacus and the teacher’s table.
