Discover a destination with a rich educational history, where tradition and community effort come together to offer an exceptional learning environment.

1956, the 'Movement' and its local and provincial representatives assessed the educational and training needs of the Baza region and decided to create a Labour Institute which, managed by a board of trustees made up of the Town Council, the Provincial Council, the Trade Union, the Ministry and some private entities, would allow the young people of the area to avoid having to travel to Granada or Almeria to validate their training or to obtain the qualification that would allow them to continue their studies.Almost twenty years later it ceases to be 'Laboral' and male, a new mixed course begins, sponsored by the 'Villar Palasí' law, with which the classrooms with up to forty-five students per group are clearly insufficient to meet the demand for enrolment, so it is considered appropriate to create an Institute oriented to vocational training (the current IES Jiménez Montoya), but there is still a shortage of school places offered to meet a growing demand for training aimed at obtaining the title of Bachiller superior in the region. It was decided to create a new building to support this demand (the now called IES José de Mora) but the increase in the young population of this educational level made it necessary to reuse the old building and create a new administrative centre called the Extension of the Instituto de Bachillerato José de Mora, which would be the seed of what we now call the Instituto Alcrebite. In fact, with the advancement of the LOGSE in 1995, this Extension became a Section of the IES José de Mora, with the new regulations that reduced the ratio of the groups and that made the Section a centre with relative autonomy but with a complicated management due to the difficult status of sustaining a Section in the same locality as the parent centre, it was found that the educational demand of the area, advised the conversion of this Section into an autonomous centre, a task to which different governments of the local administration dedicated themselves together with the special interest of D. Manuel Avilés, in order to make it possible for it to become an autonomous centre. Manuel Avilés, at that time the Area Inspector. Seven years later, this project saw the light of day and the IES José de Mora Section moved to the new building and became the 'New IES' of Baza.In the autumn of 2002, although administratively and materially new, this Institute began its journey as a reference centre for Compulsory Secondary Education in Baza. However, due to its educational tradition and teaching experience, from the very beginning it showed a clear vocation for post-compulsory education and began a struggle to offer its students an educational and training period that would fulfil their expectations of continuing their studies at university or higher vocational training after six years at the institute, It is in this way and thanks to the effort and perseverance of its school community and the support of local institutions that in 2011 the baccalaureate was granted in the IES Alcrebite, and so it is that today we have already accompanied the students of the centre to the university entrance exams with a 98% success rate, which honours us and motivates us to continue in the effort to improve education, training, coexistence, integration and cooperation in the coming years.
