IES Albayzín

What IES Albayzín does

IES Albayzín is a public secondary education institute (Instituto de Educación Secundaria) located in Granada, Andalucía, Spain, operating under the Junta de Andalucía's Consejería de Desarrollo Educativo y FP. Founded on August 28, 1979, the center delivers the Spanish national curriculum at three levels: ESO (compulsory secondary education for ages 12-16, offered with plurilingual instruction in English and German), Bachillerato (upper-secondary tracks in Sciences, Humanities/Social Sciences, and Arts), and Formacion Profesional (vocational training) in the Image and Sound family — including Grado Medio de Vídeo Disc-Jockey y Sonido, Grado Superior de Iluminación/Captación/Tratamiento de la Imagen, and Grado Superior de Producción de Audiovisuales y Espectáculos. The school is ranked Nº 1 in Granada and Nº 19 nationally by MiCole.net.

The institution's core technology footprint centers on professional audiovisual production tooling: LED screen systems and VJ operation, professional audio equipment with live sound mixing, motorized rigging and stage elevation systems, AI-integrated audiovisual workflows, and a digital tools catalogue for entrepreneurial uses. These are deployed pedagogically through named programs including Albayzín Sound Check, Visualbayzín Stage, Albayzín a Escena, and Flujos de Trabajo con IA. The school also operates a dense ecosystem of supplementary programs — Erasmus+ mobility (Aljarafe en Europa and eGranADA FP consortia), entrepreneurship incubators (Albayzín Emprende, Granada Inicia, Internexia, Albayzín Impulsa), support programs for vulnerable students (PROA, ZTS), cultural offerings (Flamenco, chess), and service-learning with Fundación La Purísima Concepción.

As a government state entity, IES Albayzín operates on a non-commercial revenue model: education is free of charge to students, and the institution is funded entirely through the Junta de Andalucía's public education budget. Enrollment is managed through the regional virtual secretariat admission system. The center has approximately 15 staff (the Consejo Escolar comprises 8 professors, 5 families, 5 students, and 1 PAS member), with leadership including Rafael Pérez Milena (Director/Presidente), Marta Mercedes Rivas Martínez (Jefa de Estudios), and Gustavo Rodríguez Pretel (Secretario). Distribution is geographic-restricted to Granada province, though international mobility programs extend student reach across European countries.
