Home Education Spanish Immersion Trips
6-day/5-night Spanish immersion trips exclusive for home educating & World Schooling families.
Málaga 19th-24th October 2025
The Spanish Language School we have partnered with in Málaga is located in the city of Málaga on the famous Costa del Sol in southern Spain. Situated on the beach front of the “Playa de Misericordia” – so you can literally open the door and breathe in the fresh sea air! It’s a perfect way to relax and take in the sun after classes. You’ll find lots of chiringuitos and heladerías to stop off for some tapas, drinks and ice cream.
More about the program
Teachers are all native Spanish speakers, so you can be sure that you are learning Spanish correctly and accurately. They are all passionate about sharing their language and culture with people, and are qualified in teaching Spanish as a foreign language, so you can ask them whatever you need to know and they’ll be able to answer confidently!
To make the most of your time in Spain, we host a wide variety of optional cultural and social activities! These are great not only as they allow children to get to know their fellow students better, but also for getting to experience the Spanish culture and customs in real life! We include a selection of the top activities in our programmes.
One of the most effective parts of our immersion programmes is the option to stay with a Spanish host family. This gives student the opportunity to practice communicating Spanish in a real-life context and to get comfortable with speaking the language. Living and having dinner with real Spanish people also allows them to try out what they’ve learnt in classes that day!

Exclusive Trip for Home Educating Families
What parents and students are saying about our Spanish Immersion Trips
Our second home education immersion trip to Málaga, organised by Kelly, was nothing short of amazing. Kelly went above and beyond to ensure that both my girls and I had an unforgettable experience. The trip offered the perfect balance of learning and fun. My daughters had the opportunity to enhance their Spanish language skills in an engaging environment while making lasting friendships with other children. It was incredible to see them grow in confidence in their language abilities.

As an adult learner, I also took part in Spanish lessons, which provided a much-needed boost to my own language skills after a long hiatus. The classes were both stimulating and accessible, making it the perfect way to re-engage with learning. I’m so grateful for this fantastic opportunity and can’t recommend it highly enough.
Whether you’re a child or an adult, this trip is an enriching experience that helps foster a love for learning in a beautiful setting. We can’t wait for the next one!
The teacher, Anna was really nice. If we didn’t understand the word/phrase, she would draw/show us a picture. She tried to make sure there were no distractions. Anna was fun and gave us interesting activities.
Alyssa & Carina: Málaga trip 2024
It was a great trip for the whole family. We are very grateful to Kelly Thornhill and AIL Malaga for ensuring everything went smoothly, for providing excellent learning materials and, more importantly, for creating unique opportunities for using Spanish “in real life”. I see how this trip made my children (10 and 14 yo) more confident and resourceful in speaking Spanish. New friendships were made there, much joy and laughter shared. Learning that looks like vacation – what can be better?
Elena, Málaga trip 2024
This opportunity, in particular the way you have run it, has given him so many learning opportunities. On top of the learning, just the confidence boost from being immersed in the language and culture is worth every penny
Anna, Málaga trip 2023
Fantastic! This was a wonderful opportunity for the girls to go and improve their Spanish! The girls have spoken so highly of the trip, including how lucky they are for Kelly to take the time and effort to organise the trip, and for how brilliant their teachers were at AIL. They loved the immersive experience of being able to put their Spanish into practice with locals and the afternoon trips in Spanish helped to cement their learning further, in addition to learning about the history of Malaga. Thank you Kelly for such an amazing experience the girls will treasure!
Faiza, Málaga trip 2023
Jay had a great time, the booking was easy, we loved getting daily updates and it was great to know Jay was with some lovely people. I think Jay might be up for another trip when GCSE exams are over!
Jennie, Málaga trip 2023
As a 14 year old girl, AIL Malaga and Kelly gave me a chance to make good friends and do fun activities with a group of kids my own age. The lessons were fun and informative and I feel like I learnt a lot.
Bronte, Málaga trip 2023
Trip was brilliant! Really enjoyed it, and was well planned before hand so I knew what the plan was. We had a zoom call as well before the trip so as to meet everyone and to go over anything or questions. The activities to the local market and the promenade were fun, and an activity where we had to talk to the people and ask questions really boosted my confidence! The lessons were fun and interactive and was an equal amount of writing and activities. The teachers were amazing too and were great! Overall a brilliant trip! Would definitely recommend and would do again!
Chloe, Málaga trip 2023
I enjoyed this trip because the lessons were very appropriate for my standard, and I didn’t find the lessons too hard or too easy in class. I mostly enjoyed the afternoon activities because I always learnt something new, my favorite was the Alcazaba on the first day because I have not been in it before and it was very interesting learning all the things about its different sections. I made lots of new friends and there were lots of bonding activities to take part in. The facilities were very clean and it did not feel overcrowded or empty at any point. I would highly suggest this to anybody who would like to have a more immersive trip to learn more Spanish and speak with more confidence.
