   Alhama High School is a secondary school in Corella, an 8,000-inhabitant village in Navarra, Spain. The school building was a boarding school of the Combonianos congregation  (Italian missionaries) for 25 years (1956-1981). The school started as a vocational school, depending on ETI school in Tudela, in 1981 with just 108 students and it was located in Laurel Street. As more students registered and more studies were implemented, Alhama High School moved to 44 El Villar Avenue in 1990. The school has more than 600 students and 72 teachers currently.

   Alhama High School has Secondary (ESO) and Bachillerato studies. In addition, a Basic Vocational Training in Cooking. The school has a strong commitment to foreign languages  teaching (English and French), complementary and extracurricular activities and the comprehensive education of students. In recent years, IES Alhama has been opening up to the community, collaborating regularly with the town council, social services, the nursing home, local associations, etc. This new approach benefits the students, the school, and the local community and enriches the learning process.

The school cluster is situated in Azambuja, a region belonging to the “Ribatejo” region in the Lisbon district. We are responsible for the state educational offer from the kindergarten to the 12th Year. At the secondary level it offers regular and vocational courses and adult education.

The motto of our School Educational Project is From all, with all and for all. Our main objective is the creation of an inclusive, interventive and responsible  school community so that the Azambuja School Cluster can be regarded as a reference of quality and success.

We value the interaction with the environment and the community by promoting partnerships, encouraging autonomy and fostering innovation and by offering a solid preparation for both for university education and the inclusion in the work market. We respect the right to difference, multiculturality, solidarity and freedom as assets for learning and for an active citizenship.
