Grupo Prisa

Santillana is the leading textbook and general-interest publishing group in Spain and Latin America, and a benchmark for quality in the field of creative writing in Spanish. With more than 117 million books sold each year, Santillana has been synonymous with quality, innovation and service to teachers since its inception in 1960.

Grupo Santillana is currently active in 22 countries and is involved in a wide range of products and services including school textbooks (Santillana Education), executive training (Instituto Universitario de Posgrado-IUP), online learning (Santillana En Red), language-learning books (Richmond, Santillana Français, Santillana ELE, Santillana Español), general publishing (through publishing houses such as Alfaguara, Taurus, Aguilar o Salamandra) and distribution (Itaca). Other services offered by Santillana include student-evaluation systems and quality management for educational centres.

Santillana is active in Portugal through Constância Editores; and in Brazil through Editora Moderna and Editora Objetiva, publishers of school textbooks and general interest, respectively.

As the chief educational publishers in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking worlds, Grupo Santillana exercises its leadership responsibly, and works closely with teachers, students, governments and other key social players with the aim of improving educational practice and promoting the local culture of the regions where we operate. To this end, in 1979 the group set up the Santillana Foundation, a private body aimed at promoting education, scientific research and culture. The Foundation has main offices in Spain, Colombia, Argentina and Brazil.
