School History
How the School Started
The IES Lope de Vega high school was created a long time ago. It officially opened on August 26, 1933. This happened during a time in Spain called the Spanish Second Republic. This was a period when Spain was a republic, not a monarchy.
The School During Wartime
The school stayed open during the Spanish Civil War. This war took place from 1936 to 1939. It was one of only three high schools in Madrid that kept its doors open. The teachers at the school supported the "Nationalist" side during the war. This made the school a special place for them in Madrid, which was controlled by the "Republican" side.
After the War
After the Civil War ended, many schools that were created during the Second Republic closed. However, IES Lope de Vega was the only one that remained open. It continued to teach students without being shut down.
Where the School Has Been
The school did not always stay in the same building. At first, it was in a palace on Calle de Manuel Silvela. For a short time, it moved to Calle de Fortuny. During the war, it went back to Manuel Silvela. In the early 1940s, the school moved to its current location on Calle de San Bernardo.
The Current Building
The building on San Bernardo is very important. Before the high school moved in, it was home to a teacher training school and a museum. On March 26, 1999, this building was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural. This means it is a protected historical monument in Spain.
School Awards
The IES Lope de Vega has received special recognition. In 2017, it was given the Encomienda de número of the Order of the Dos de Mayo. This is an important award from the Community of Madrid. It honors people and institutions for their service.
