About us
IES Cap de Llevant is located in Menorca, one of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea. With a population of approximately 95000 inhabitants, the island is known for its collection of megalithic stone monuments (navetes, taules and talaiots) and it was designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve in 1993 because of its biological diversity and its balanced approach to conservation and human use of the natural environment.
Founded in 1995, IES Cap de Llevant is the youngest secondary school in Maó, and yet it has experienced the highest demand growth among families and students over the last years because our Bilingual Programs in Secondary Education both in post compulsory education, where a few electives are taught in English, and in the compulsory secondary education levels where the school holds an agreement since 1998 with the British Council Program, reinforcing their English level by using CLIL methodology and teaching one third of our curriculum in this language. As part of this project we have also established a yearly school exchange with high schools in the UK (Salisbury) and during this last year we have also participated in the first exchange with a German school.
