Salvador Allende

IES Salvador Allende is a public center in Fuenlabrada that offers compulsory secondary education (ESO) and Bachillerato (upper secondary, ages 16–18), as well as basic vocational training and intermediate and higher-level vocational training cycles. Its vocational training offer includes health cycles —among them Dietetics— and electricity and electronics, and it has a higher-level program in virtual mode. The center has a cafeteria and school transport.

The institute develops interdisciplinary projects and educational innovation initiatives. Among them is a circular economy project in collaboration with UPM, based on the creation of laboratory magnetic stirrers using recycled materials that Dietetics students use in their practices. The center participates in the Erasmus+ program and has been recognized as a Reference Center of the La Básica en RED program. It has received a special mention in the Nativity Scene Contest of the Diocese of Getafe and an award in the Dualiza-Orienta call for a project aimed at vocational training guidance. It has also hosted a national meeting of basic level teachers.

Students participate in activities such as the Fuenlabrada School Debate League, the Spring Mathematics Contest, intergenerational meetings in the La Serna Neighborhood Project, and scientific and environmental days with local schools. The center has an AMPA, student helper and mediator programs, the regional drug prevention plan of the Community of Madrid, and the REFUERZA support program for ESO students.
