IES Eras de Renueva is a leading educational institution in León (Spain). Since its foundation, we have been committed to providing high-quality education, adapting to the changes and demands of modern society. The school boasts modern facilities in an accessible and well-connected location, making daily life easier for students. Additionally, it has a highly qualified teaching staff dedicated to the well-rounded development of students, not only academically but also in values and cross-disciplinary skills.

One of the key strengths of IES Eras de Renueva is its focus on internationalization. We offer a wide range of educational programmes, including different options for secondary education (Spanish, British, Bilingual English, Bilingual French) and Bachillerato (Spanish, Bachibac). This allows students to choose the path that best suits their interests and abilities.

Furthermore, the school has a long tradition of participation in European projects (Erasmus+, eTwinning), exchange programmes (Reunion Island, various schools in France, etc.), and language immersion activities (Eastbourne in the UK, various schools in France, etc.), providing students with a global and multicultural perspective. Combined with an inclusive and collaborative environment, this makes IES Eras de Renueva an excellent choice for those seeking a well-rounded and high-quality education.

In the last school years, the number of students has been around 1,000, with approximately 100 teachers.

FACILITIES AND RESOURCES

Our school is made up of two main buildings: one dedicated to secondary education and the other to Bachillerato. In addition, we offer extensive shared spaces designed to support both learning and social development. All areas are fully equipped with the resources needed to deliver high-quality, student-centred education in a welcoming environment.

Our school has eliminated architectural barriers, complying with current accessibility regulations and ensuring access for individuals with physical disabilities or impairments. There is a vehicular access area, allowing school buses, private cars, and emergency services to reach the school when necessary.

Both buildings have their own multi-purpose spaces which are used for meetings, conferences, exhibitions and celebrations. 

We have two libraries, one in each building. Both house an extensive collection of books, journals, and digital resources for both reference and reading, covering all subjects and year groups. Access to the books is automated and digitally managed by designated staff. One of the libraries, El Rincón de Lectura, is located in a quiet, well-lit area, ideal for study and reading. It is a colourful and welcoming space for students, and during breaks it is common to find them playing chess.

The school has fully equipped science laboratories that provide students with hands-on experience in scientific practice and experimentation. These facilities include a dedicated Chemistry lab, a Physics lab, and two Biology-Geology labs. Each laboratory is designed to support practical learning through modern equipment, safety features, and specialised materials tailored to each subject area. Students regularly engage in experiments, data analysis, and scientific inquiry as part of their curriculum, encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the natural world.

The school has three computer labs, each equipped with a sufficient number of computers to ensure that every student has access to their own device during lessons. These labs are used across a variety of subjects that require digital tools, supporting activities such as research, presentations, and multimedia projects. Additionally, we have a specialised Technology Classroom designed for courses in Technology, Control and Robotics, and Computer Programming. These spaces foster creativity, problem-solving, and digital literacy, helping students develop key skills for the future.

For physical education, we have two spacious indoor gyms, fully equipped for a wide range of sports and fitness activities. In addition, the school offers outdoor sports courts where students can practise basketball, football, volleyball, and other team sports. These facilities are used during PE lessons, extracurricular activities, and school competitions, promoting physical wellbeing, teamwork, and a healthy lifestyle. Our aim is to encourage all students to stay active, develop their motor skills, and enjoy the benefits of regular physical exercise in a safe environment.

In summary, the school offers a wide range of well-equipped facilities that support both academic and personal development. From science and computer labs to sports areas, libraries, and specialised classrooms, every space is designed to provide students with a comprehensive, modern, and engaging learning environment.
