We’re very excited to introduce the newest member of our bilingual team: Ben!

Ben comes from the United States and will be joining us this school year as a language assistant. He’ll be working across different levels and classes, so many of you will get the chance to meet him and share this learning adventure together.

Ben will be working side by side with our other wonderful language assistants - Alaina, Kelly, and Celine. Together, they will bring energy, ideas, and enthusiasm to our classrooms.

On behalf of the whole school community, welcome, all! We’re so happy to have you here with us. We’re sure that, with the four of you working together, this school year will be truly special.

Welcome, Alayna, Celine & Kelly!

Today we’ve welcomed our three new language assistants for the 2025–2026 school year: Alayna, Celine and Kelly!
They all come from the United States and they’ll be working with us from 1º ESO to 2º Bachillerato.

They’ve just landed, but they’re already joining classes and getting involved in lots of projects — from helping with Global Classroom in 3º ESO, to supporting our Bilingual Corner and everything in between.

We’re really happy to have them with us this year! They’re full of energy, super friendly, and we’re sure they’ll bring fresh ideas and lots of enthusiasm to our school.

Don’t be shy — say hi, talk to them, and make the most of this chance to practise your English!

Let’s make it a great year together!                                                                                                                         October 1, 2025

We are pleased to announce that IES García Morato will officially take part in Erasmus Days 2025, a Europe-wide campaign that celebrates the values and benefits of the Erasmus+ programme.

The event will take place on October 16th under the title: “Open Spaces, Open Minds. Learning Beyond Walls”. It will also serve as the official launch of our new Erasmus+ project: “Transforming Educational Spaces in a Sustainable Way.” With this project, our school aims to rethink how we use and design learning spaces so that they become more sustainable, inclusive, and inspiring.

During the day, we will hold an opening speech to present the project to our community and highlight the values of Erasmus+, followed by a student-led exhibition with ideas and proposals to redesign school spaces from an ecological and sustainable perspective. In addition, we will be sharing highlights of the event through our Instagram account and our digital platforms.

We look forward to celebrating this day with the entire educational community, taking the first step in our new Erasmus+ journey!

Last Novemeber 4, we embarked on a wonderful nature camp in Navacerrada, in the heart of the Guadarrama mountain range, an ideal outdoor destination to enjoy nature with our 1st ESO students. Over three days we lived, played and learned together in Los Almorchones. 

Our amazing monitors, Nelson, Emi, David, Eli, Billy, Emer and Dax, taught our students how to play lacrosse and baseball, how to experience the river life and how to understand the plants, trees and rocks that surrounded us. All this so that students could enjoy a few days of adventure, sports and team bonding while they learned English and deepened what they studied in the classrooms. It was an unforgettable trip! Thanks monitors, students and teacher for such a nice adventure! Gallery
