IES Blanca Fernández Ochoa is a public secondary school located in Madrid, in the Fuencarral-El Pardo district. It offers compulsory secondary education (ESO) and Bachillerato (upper secondary, ages 16–18), with instruction in Spanish and English. It is a center dependent on the Community of Madrid.

The institute develops the ACCEDE program, which involves the payment of a deposit upon enrollment, the return of which is contemplated under certain circumstances. It carries out ordinary and extraordinary assessments of ESO and Bachillerato, and presents students for the PAU exams, the results of which it publishes. In 2026, all students passed the PAU, with an average access score of 7.64 and an average admission score of 10.66. Additionally, the center recognizes students as candidates for the Diplomas of Achievement and Honor Mention awarded by the Department of Education and Research of the Community of Madrid.

The center has a school magazine, "MontBlank," the first issue of which was published in December 2023. This publication includes information about activities and events in the educational community, and aims to promote reading and writing, with special attention to design and production. The editorial team consists of students, teachers, and representatives of the AMPA. Furthermore, the institute develops Service-Learning (APS) projects as a strategic line, combining academic learning with solidarity actions and social commitment. These projects aim to foster social awareness and active participation among students, develop key competencies such as communication, teamwork, and personal initiative, and promote values of solidarity. The center is close to metro stations (Paco de Lucía, Mirasierra, and Pitis) and commuter services.
