Learn Spanish In Madrid with Us
Every child is integrated into a carefully selected, reliable host family in our community.
We, as parents, prioritise the children’s welfare and stay in regular contact throughout the day. Our host families are closely linked to our Spanish school, actively joining in various school activities with us.
We provide a warm and friendly family setting, unlike a conventional school. Here, students are welcomed as guests to learn Spanish and partake in the host family’s daily routines, making the most of the amenities like the pool, garden, and more.
We consider ourselves fortunate in our Spanish summer camp. Our town may be small, but it’s filled with three schoolchildren and numerous host families, creating a nurturing environment where children feel as much a part of the family as their hosts.
Meals are shared with the family: breakfast at home, a packed lunch prepared for the school camp, and a shared dinner in the evening.
But wait, there’s even more excitement!
Every Friday night features a sleepover under the stars at La Pedriza, and on Sundays, the day is dedicated to family time, with students spending the entire day with their host families.
A magical place full of nature!
Your Spanish Home in Madrid is a place full of natural beauty due to its peaceful outdoors. You stay with local Spanish families who receive you warmly and care for you as their own kids.
