IES Miguel de Cervantes

What IES Miguel de Cervantes does

IES Miguel de Cervantes is a public secondary education institute (Instituto de Educación Secundaria) located at Avenida Miguel de Cervantes nº 3, Murcia, Spain, founded in 1954 and operated by the Comunidad Autónoma de la Región de Murcia under school code 30006197. The institution delivers three core educational tracks: Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO, ages 12-16) offered in a bilingual Spanish-English format with the SENDA digital teaching project integrating laptop provision and digital textbooks; Bachillerato (ages 16-18) including the novel General Baccalaureate modality introduced in 2022-2023 and preparation for the PAU/EBAU university entrance examinations; and Formación Profesional Básica (FP Básica) in vehicle maintenance, which includes Erasmus+ international work placements (FCT) in European companies.

The school's technology stack is built on regional government-provided infrastructure: the Murciaeduca AulaVirtual (Moodle-based virtual classroom), Google Drive for staff collaboration, digital textbooks, the Mirador platform for parent access to student records, and the TokApp communication app. Specialized programs layer on this base, including the SELE plurilingual teaching program, the Greenpower electric vehicle engineering competition team (national champions 2019, regional F24+ champions 2023), MdC Radio and podcast platform, and heritage digitization projects. Academic outcomes are consistently above regional averages — 100% PAU pass rate in 2026 (6.9 points above the Murcia regional average) and 95.6% EBAU pass rate in 2022 (2.5 points above regional average) — with subject-level strengths in Dibujo Técnico, Francés, and Inglés.

The business model is fully publicly funded through the Consejería de Educación y Cultura of the Región de Murcia; no tuition fees are charged and ESO students receive free textbooks via the banco de libros program. Enrollment is administered through the centralized CARM regional admission system (Sede Electrónica), with annual open house events (Jornada de Puertas Abiertas) serving as the primary demand-generation channel. The institution holds Erasmus+ accreditation and partners with schools in France (St François d'Assise) and Germany (BBS Wildeshausen), along with the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, local companies such as APLI Maurinaria, and an active AMPA parent association.
