IES Perez Galdos

What IES Perez Galdos does

IES Pérez Galdós is a public secondary education institution (Instituto de Educación Secundaria) located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in the Canary Islands, Spain. Founded in 1900, it operates under the Gobierno de Canarias regional education system and offers the standard Spanish secondary curriculum: Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO), Bachillerato, and Ciclos Formativos de Formación Profesional (vocational training). The school charges no tuition; its operations are funded through the regional government's public-education budget.

The institution differentiates itself within the local public-school market through several specialized programs. It runs EMILE (Enseignement d'une Matière Intégrée à une Langue Étrangère) bilingual French instruction and the Bachibac double-degree pathway, which together provide a credentialed French-language track. In December 2024, it received the LabelFrancÉducation certification from the French Ministry of Education—one of only two such certifications in the Canary Islands—joining the AEFE international education network. Its in-house Aula Museo (Pérez Galdós heritage classroom), established in 2019, integrates cultural and pedagogical content directly into school life.

Beyond core instruction, IES Pérez Galdós operates an unusually broad extracurricular portfolio: an ARTEK robotics program, participation in the CINEDFEST pedagogical film festival, the Vidas Cruzadas intergenerational project pairing students with elderly residents, the Proyecto CONSERVAR family-memory archive, and Erasmus+ mobility programs. Day-to-day operations rely on the standard regional platforms EVAGD, CAMPUS, and Pincel Ekade for virtual learning and administration. Student intake flows through the regional public-admission system of the Gobierno de Canarias, with no selective commercial pricing mechanism.
