Three ways to spend a summer learning Spanish
Teenagers aged 13 to 17, from complete beginners to advanced. Choose the plan that fits your family.
Your teen comes to Málaga
Spanish every morning, activities with our team after class and a local host family with breakfast and dinner. Add the airport transfer and we meet your teen at Málaga airport. You have one coordinator to talk to from booking to the flight home.
Book the courseYou are in Málaga together
Spending the summer on the Costa del Sol? Your teen joins our morning classes while you enjoy the city. Younger brothers and sisters (6 to 12) can join our kids camp, and parents can take a Spanish class too.
See the kids campA class just for them
Two to ten friends or siblings can book a private class only for them. Bringing a school, club or agency group? We build a package with lessons, activities, homestays and transfers.
Book a private classWhat a normal day looks like
Structured mornings, sociable afternoons, family evenings.
- Breakfast at homeBreakfast with the host family, then a walk or a short bus ride to the school in La Malagueta.
- Spanish, 9:30 to 13:30Four hours of class in a small group at your teen's level, with a break in the middle of the morning.
- After classThe school's activity of the day with our team, or time at La Malagueta beach, a block from the school.
- Dinner with the familyDinner at home and real Spanish conversation at the table, every evening.
Lunch is not part of the homestay (breakfast and dinner are), so plan a small daily budget for it.

What parents ask first
Clear answers on who looks after your teen, where and when.
One coordinator for you
Parents talk to one named coordinator from the first question to the flight home, by WhatsApp, phone or email, with emergency contact channels for the whole stay.
Checked, trained staff
Our teachers and staff undergo background checks and are trained in first aid and emergency procedures. There is a first aid kit at the school.
Activities with our team
Lessons and the scheduled activities are run by our own teachers and staff, not by outside providers.
Host families we know
Our staff have personally visited every home. Tell us about diets, allergies and medical needs when you book, and we place your teen to match.
Clear rules
Every student follows the school's code of conduct. Tell us your rules for free time and evenings when you book, and ask us how we handle them for your teen's age.
A central, walkable school
Calle Reding 6 in La Malagueta: a block from the beach, close to the old town, with Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Is it right for my teen? This is a language course with a host family, not a residential camp with round-the-clock monitors. It suits teenagers who can get to school and back on their own. For younger or less independent teens, the best plan is to come to Málaga as a family: ask us and we help you choose.
Living with a Spanish family
Students under 18 stay with a host family. It is the fastest way to speak Spanish every day, and your teen comes home to breakfast and dinner.
- Arrival on the Sunday before the course, departure on the Saturday after it
- Bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included
- Minimum stay one week (7 nights); extra nights on request
- Book at least two weeks before arrival so we can find the right family
Coming as a family? You do not need our accommodation: your teen simply joins the classes. More about homestay in Málaga

Summer 2027 dates
No fixed sessions: your teen starts on any Monday the school is open and stays as many weeks as you like.
Start any Monday
Courses start every Monday the school is open, for one week or more, all year round. Any week from June to September works for a summer stay.
Closed days in August
The school is closed on Monday 16 August 2027 (Assumption, moved) and Thursday 19 August 2027 (Málaga local holiday). That week is shorter and costs less: the booking calendar shows it.
Not only in summer
The same course runs all year, so it also works for Easter, autumn or winter school holidays.
Book early for July and August, and at least two weeks before arrival if your teen needs a host family.
What students and parents say
My daughter and I had an amazing experience taking a Spanish class this year in May. Our teacher, Helena, was very competent and very friendly and provided an excellent learning experience for us. My daughter and I plan to continue at Vamos Academy in the near future.
I studied for three weeks at Vamos Academy in Malaga and it was an awesome experience. I studied four hours a day from Monday - Friday. The time flew by and I advanced my Spanish skills and understanding of Spanish grammar. My teacher, Helena Garcia, was the best! She was smart, clever, entertaining and efficient. I feel very fortunate to have been assigned to her class. Highly recommend Vamos Academy and all of their staff. Everyone was super friendly and made my entire time there fun. I hope to return for more in the future.
Outstanding program. Great teachers: knowledgeable and very helpful. Fun extra curricula activities to encourage interaction in Spanish and Lots of flexibility in terms of scheduling.

Questions parents ask
What ages is the summer course for?
Teenagers aged 13 to 17. Children aged 6 to 12 are a better fit for our kids camp, and school groups of students aged 14 to 18 for our school trips programme.
Does my teen need to speak Spanish already?
No. We teach every level from complete beginner (A1) to C2. Every student takes a free placement test and joins a class at the right level.
Will my teen study with other teenagers?
Classes are formed by level, with 3 to 5 students on average and never more than 7, so classmates can be teenagers or adults depending on the week. For a class with only their friends or siblings, book a private class for 2 to 10 students.
Who looks after my teen?
Our teachers during lessons and our team during the scheduled activities; the host family at home. Parents have one named coordinator and emergency contact channels for the whole stay. It is not a residential camp with monitors around the clock, so it suits teens who can get around on their own.
Where will my teen stay?
With a local host family, in a shared or private room, with breakfast and dinner. Students under 18 can only book homestay. Arrival is on the Sunday before the course and departure on the Saturday after it. Tell us about diets, allergies and medical needs when you book.
Can you pick my teen up at the airport?
Yes. Add the private transfer from Málaga airport to the host family when you book and send us the flight details. If your teen flies alone, check your airline's rules for young passengers travelling unaccompanied.
Can we come as a family?
Yes. Your teen joins the morning classes, younger children aged 6 to 12 can join the kids camp, and parents can book their own Spanish course. You do not need our accommodation.
When can my teen start, and for how long?
On any Monday the school is open, for one week or more. In summer 2027 the school is closed on 16 and 19 August; that week is shorter and costs less.
How much does it cost?
The course is priced per week and costs less per week for longer stays. Homestay, the airport transfer and extras are priced separately, and there is no enrolment fee and no materials fee. The prices table above shows a full two-week example.
Is insurance included?
No. Your teen should travel with medical and travel insurance. Students from the European Union should also bring their European Health Insurance Card.
How do payment and cancellation work?
You pay by card or bank transfer; a deposit may be requested to hold the place, and the balance is paid before the course begins. Cancellations are made in writing: 14 days or more before the start, course fees become a voucher valid for 12 months at any Vamos Academy school; with less notice there is no refund. A €90 administration fee applies to changes and cancellations. Homestay is refunded if cancelled 14 days or more before arrival, otherwise one week is charged. The full terms are on our terms and conditions page.
Will my teen get a certificate?
Yes. At the end of the course every student receives a certificate of attendance, with at least 85% attendance. For an official certificate, add DELE exam preparation.
Can a group of teenagers come together?
Yes. Friends or siblings can book a private class for 2 to 10 students. Schools, clubs and agencies can ask us for a group package with lessons, activities, homestays and transfers.
