Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

The origin of the construction of our Center in Tangier dates to the late 1920s. The schooling needs of the Spanish community in Tangier were so important that in 1928 the Consul suggested designating the Cervantes Theatre for school use. The project for a 'Spanish group school in Tangier' was commissioned by Royal Order No. 152 of June 22, 1929 and prepared by eminent architects Rafael Bergamín and Luis Blanco Soler. The project was delivered in January 1930, and its construction was tendered by Royal Order published in the Gaceta de Madrid No. 79 of March 20, 1931, with a contract budget of 642,599.14 pesetas. Construction faced delays due to foundation problems and the contractor's ruin; by the summer of 1936 the complex was completed as an H-shaped building with a central core and four wings.

Community

Carnaval is scheduled for March 26, 2026. The center also hosts events such as the 1st Ramón y Cajal Film Show on February 9, 2026, and Día de las Escritoras on October 13, 2025. The events calendar includes the 2025/26 school calendar and other activities communicated by the center.
