What IES Pedro Antonio de Alarcón does

IES Pedro Antonio de Alarcón is a public secondary school (Instituto de Educación Secundaria) located in Guadix, Granada, Spain, within the Geoparque de Granada area. Operated by the Junta de Andalucía under the Consejería de Educación y Deporte, the institute delivers tuition-free secondary education, university preparation, and vocational training to students from Guadix and surrounding municipalities including CEIP Ruiz del Peral, Medina Olmos, CDP Padre Poveda, Rafael Vidal, CPR Los Montes, and Sened. The school offers Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) for ages 12-16, Bachillerato programs, and vocational training cycles at Basic, Medium, and Superior levels; the institution is the sole provider in the province of the Superior Degree in Physical Conditioning (Grado Superior en Acondicionamiento Físico). Leadership sits with Director Alicia Calderón Escobar.

The institute's educational portfolio spans several specialized programs. The STEAM Robótica y Aeroespacial project delivers project-based learning in robotics and aerospace across student groups. The Bilingual Education Program covers multiple subjects with the support of language assistants. The Ecoescuelas program, a member of the Andalusian Eco-Schools Network since the 2015-16 academic year, engages approximately 95% of the teaching staff in environmental initiatives. The institute participates in Erasmus+, including the KA104 partnership for adult education, and hosts annual exchange programs with Lycée Gabriel Faure in Tournon-Sur-Rhône and Lycée Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in La Rochelle. The PIIISA Scientific Research Project enables student participation in research at the Faculty of Pharmacy. Communication activities are channeled through the COMUNICA project, which produced the Con Clase student magazine launched in 2023.

The institute operates from a single campus at St. Venus de Paulenca, s/n, P.C. 18500 in Guadix. Revenue is derived entirely from public funding via the Junta de Andalucía and the Spanish Ministry of Education; no tuition is charged to students. Distribution of educational services follows the regional schooling (escolarización) process administered by the Andalusian education authority, with annual enrollment windows. The school communicates with families and the wider community through its official website, a Twitter account (@IESPedroAntonio), a cultural exchange podcast on Spotify titled "Viajando entre culturas," a Padlet digital library, and dedicated Google Sites portals for the bilingual and reading programs.
