  • Exchange at IES Pedro de Tolosa (San Martín de Valdeiglesias):

This was a students’ exchange with Wayland High School in Boston (USA). We took 18 students of Bachillerato to Boston and stayed there for two weeks. Then, we received the American students in San Martín. It was a great experience for everybody (students, teachers and families).

  • Exchange at IES Pedro de Tolosa (San Martín de Valdeiglesias):

The Castle in Pau

  • School trip to Dublin at IES Villa de Vallecas (Madrid):

This was a school trip to the Republic of Ireland so that our students could do an intensive language course in Dublin. They lived with Irish families for a week and visited some of the most important sites around Dublin.

  • European Comenius Project at IES María Guerrero (Collado Villalba):

This was a big multilateral Comenius Project with other schools from several European countries. The coordinator school was in Nijmegen (Holland). We took a group of students to the big meeting in Nijmegen with all the students from the other countries. It was an incredible and unforgetable experience with a great European taste. We also received a group of Dutch students in Collado Villalba. Fantastic!

  • Exchange at Centro Educativo Agave (Huércal de Almería):

This was a  bilateral exchange of students with Oak Park and River Forest High School in Chicago (USA). First, we received the American students and their teachers in Almería and a few months later, we travelled to the USA. We spent 3 days in New York and then, we travelled to Chicago and spent 3 weeks living with families of the beautiful neighbourhood of Oak Park near Chicago. Amazing but a bit long for students and teachers!
