IES stands for Instituto de Educaci\u00f3n Secundaria<\/strong>, something like Secondary Education School. We use the French word ‘Institute’<\/em>. Our Secondary School was built in 1989. Mejorada was much smaller at the time. But the population increased and another bigger and newer secondary school was made. There are around 700 students. The other Secondary School is called ‘Los Olivos’ and students can study Vocational Training in it.<\/p>\n

When students end the Primary School they come to study to the Secondary \"\"School or High School.<\/strong> When they come here, thery are 12 years old. They stay here for at least 4 years, until 4th of ESO (Educaci\u00f3n Secundaria Obligatoria). The students are 15 or 16 years old. Until students are 16, education is compulsory in Spain.<\/p>\n

Our Secondary School is a bilingual school<\/strong>. We have the subject of English language every day. Some students have more subjects in English, such as History, Biology, Art, Music and Physical Education.<\/p>\n

Some subjects which we have for students of all years are: Spanish Language, Maths, English or History. Other subjects are optional or are not studied in every year. Such is the case of Music, Art, ITC. Students can choose between Catholic Religion or a subject in which they are taught moral values and different cultural issues.<\/p>\n

Some students leave the School then because they want to study Vocational training or post-compulsory education<\/strong> in another town or in Madrid. The 2 post-compulsory years that students must study if they want to go to University or they want to study a higher level of Vocational Training are called Bachillerato, coming from a French word as well: Baccalaureate. At this ‘instituto’ we have three specialities or branches: social sciences, sciences (with biology and physics and chemistry) or technology.<\/p>\n

Then, the students who want to go to university have to pass a test which is the same for all the students in the province of Madrid: the \u2018Evau\u2019.<\/strong> Then with the marks they have in Bachillerato and the marks they get at this test they obtain a final mark and with that mark they can get into the university as far as they reach the mark required for that university. Each degree requires a different mark according to the students who want to study that degree. If a lot of students want to study that degree, the mark rises. The most requested degrees are Maths, Law and Medical degrees.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s talk about our Secondary School<\/span><\/strong> Miguel Delibes. It is called after a well-known writer in Spain.<\/p>\n
