Leon Felipe

C.E.I.P. León Felipe is a public school in Leganés that offers the second cycle of Early Childhood Education (3-6 years) and Primary Education (6-12 years) in Spanish and English, and has a cafeteria service and extracurricular activities.

The school has been part of the Bilingual Program of the Community of Madrid since the 2014-2015 school year, when it started in the first level of Primary Education and expanded to the rest of the levels until completing the stage. Starting from the 2022-2023 school year, Early Childhood Education also incorporates bilingual teaching from the age of 3. In Primary Education, the subjects of foreign language-English, natural sciences, plastic education, and physical education are taught in English, which accounts for 30% of the teaching hours, with teachers having the corresponding specialty and linguistic qualification. Language, mathematics, social sciences, music, and values/religion are taught entirely in Spanish. Among the objectives of the bilingual project are to promote the use of the English language with complementary activities and projects at the regional, national, or European level, to use ICT as a learning tool, and to adopt an organizational model based on co-tutoring.

The school develops various projects and programs of its own: Eco-school, Erasmus+, active recesses, calm cafeteria, and a school magazine with different published editions. It also has an Annual Library Plan, managed by a library team, which organizes the usage schedule by levels, book lending, and reading promotion activities, with the aim of forming competent readers and fostering reading habits.
