INSTITUTO  DE   ENSEÑANZA  SECUNDARIA  “MAYORAZGO”

The city of Malaga is situated on the South coast of Spain, by the Mediterranean Sea. 
It is the capital of the Costa del Sol and it has a population of about 600.000 inhabitants. 
A great part of its economical activities are based on tourism. 
Malaga´s climate is Mediterranean, with mild winters and warm summers. Both the surrounding mountings and the sea breeze contribute to its nice climate.

       

  

        

Mayorazgo high school is located in Malaga. The teaching staff is composed by 37 teachers.  The number of students nowadays is 370 ranging from 12 to 20 years old. Several types of education is offered: obligatory secondary education (from 12 to 16), seventh form (called Bachilleratos in Spain) with branches in Social Sciences, Arts and Health Sciences and vocational training with specializations in Nursery Education, Secretarial Courses and Administrative Assistantship Courses.  

We are provided with a Student Guidance Team and teaching staff qualified to assist students with special needs. 

Lessons are given from Monday to Friday, from 8.30 am to 14.30 pm. Everyday there are six subjects with a break of 30 minutes at midday. In total, students receive 30 lessons of about an hour. English and French are both subjects present in the curriculum.

In the evenings, our high school offers a wide range of extra activities in which not only students but families and other people involved can participate: Computer Sciences, Italian, Dancing, Capoeira, Taichi, Gymnastics, Drawing and Painting, etc.

The high school has a gym, library, computer lab, Physics and Chemistry labs and special classrooms to carry out Nursery Education and Administrative Assistanship workshops.

Although our high school is situated in an area with a middle-high socioeconomical level, our students have different backgrounds. Many of our students come from other districts in Malaga, as well as from the province. Besides, some of our students are not Spanish, but Irish, English, Italian, French, Polish, Ukranian, Czech, Cuban, Ecuadorean, Argentinian, Moroccan, and Chinese.

We have some experience in European projects as we have participated in one school project with France and Italy and in one linguistic project with Italy. Furthermore, some of our students of vocational training have had practices periods in EU countries such as United Kingdom and Italy.

Nowadays, we are developing the project: “School of Peace”, which aims to promote values like solidarity, respect, tolerance, gender equality and environmental respect, among others.
