Colegio Finlandes, Malaga

Address: C. José Salik, 4, 29640 Fuengirola, Málaga

Colegio Finlandés fuses Finland’s top-ranked education system with the energy of Fuengirola’s Los Pacos district. It’s the first Finnish school abroad to offer full upper secondary education, following the national curriculum from preschool through high school. Think small classes, student-led learning, and a deep focus on well-being—plus serious academic credibility backed by official Finnish certification.

Students get hands-on support from day one, with access to psychologists, special education experts, and academic advisors. Spanish culture and language are central to the experience, while core values like sustainability, equality, and creative freedom shape every part of school life—from classroom projects to biodynamic gardening.

New students integrate fast thanks to student-led mentoring and a strong sense of community. Whether you’re staying a term or a few years, this is a place that makes learning personal, joyful, and future-ready.
