Development School


Explanation:
Although multiple translations would be viable, I think that "development school" works here.

faith based school/ foundation faith school


Explanation:
If you read their mission statement they are clearly a faith school
"educación en valores que favorezca una conciencia ética de raíz cristiana, "
although they also sound like what in Britain would be called a foundation school
"Fomento es una institución fundada en 1963 por un grupo de padres, profesionales y educadores que constituyeron una empresa educativa con el objeto de ofrecer a la sociedad una educación de calidad, creativa e innovadora."
So, one of the above options would be my suggestion

This school (and quite a few others) is sponsored by a foundation named 'Fomento'. The word in itself doesn't seem to refer to a type of school.

This group has strong links to Opus Dei:

Fomento de Centros de Enseñanza mantiene desde sus orígenes un convenio por el que la Prelatura de la Santa Cruz y Opus Dei se ocupa del nombramiento de los capellanes y profesores de Religión en sus colegios, cuya existencia se debe, en buena medida, al estímulo de San Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer.

La espiritualidad de esta Institución de la Iglesia católica estuvo presente, desde el principio, en la iniciativa responsable de los padres que la promovieron, así como en la finalidad y en el estilo educativo del Grupo Fomento.
