Educational institutions need to meet the demands posed by society. Specifically, the Catholic ideology centers, in their constant search for educational excellence, family satisfaction and continuous improvement, must establish a system that effectively manages all areas of the organization and guarantees its quality. This article shows the bibliographic analysis carried out around quality management models, which have stood out for their results in the business field and their adaptations to the educational field. Its fundamental principles have been analyzed and combined to obtain dimensions and indicators with which to develop a final model applicable to these educational centers. With a systematic process of analysis on the approaches of a descriptive-comparative study, the importance of leadership, organization and process management, and the training of professionals involved in the process is discovered. The quality management model, which is proposed, is specifically oriented to the centers of Catholic ideology that teach in the stages of Pre-school Education, Primary Education and Secondary Education, called to respond, with a project of their own, to their ideology and mission.
