What IES Rosalía de Castro does

IES Plurilingüe Rosalía de Castro is a public multilingual secondary school (Instituto de Educación Secundaria) located on Rúa San Clemente in Santiago de Compostela, capital of the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. Founded in 1989 with the launch of its International Baccalaureate program, the school operates under the Consellería de Educación of the Xunta de Galicia and serves students aged 12-18 across compulsory secondary education (ESO), pre-university Baccalaureate (Bacharelato), International Baccalaureate (BI), STEM specialization (STEMbach), vocational training cycles (Ciclos Formativos), and adult secondary education (ESPA). Its 24 staff deliver instruction in Galician, Spanish, English, French, and German, supported by GSuite for Education, a virtual classroom platform (Aula Virtual), and an internal search-engine-style portal called RosalíaTECA.

The school's business model is that of a publicly funded state educational institution: enrollment is tuition-free, admission is administered through the regional Consellería de Educación, and operations are financed by the Galician education budget. IES Rosalía supplements its academic curriculum with extensive extracurricular programming, including academic olympiads (mathematics, physics, chemistry, philosophy, economics, geology), performing arts (theater, orchestra, choir), literary and scientific competitions (Premios San Clemente, Bento Spinoza, Stephen Hawking), sports clubs, and international exchange programs such as Erasmus+ and the Global Classroom initiative launched in January 2026 in partnership with the regional education authority. Recent strategic partnerships include a vocational training collaboration with CIFP Compostela and a national gymnastics championship won by a 1st ESO student in April 2026, signaling a continued investment in extracurricular breadth alongside its plurilingual academic core.
