The school provides education from preschool through high school, following school-specific curricula based on national curricula.
Knowledge of the Spanish language and culture is central to our teaching, and we offer opportunities to explore broader European culture as well as students' own roots and homeland.
Peer support and tutor students play a key role in helping new arrivals settle in, meet other students, and find their place in the community.
The school offers annual internship placements for teacher candidates and, selectively, other education and social-work students. The internship program is designed to be high‑quality, structured, and fair; applications are submitted during defined periods by email to the internship coordinator.
We participate in the Liikkuva koulu (Move-to-School) and KiVa Koulu programs, promoting students' physical activity and preventing bullying. We provide extensive student welfare services, including school health care, counselor support, and access to our own school psychologist.
Aurinkorannikon Finnish School is a private Finnish school in Los Pacos, Fuengirola, Andalusia, Spain, operating under Finland's Basic Education Act and Upper Secondary Education Act and with the right to confer diplomas. It serves preschool through upper secondary and follows the Finnish national core curricula, with Spanish language and culture integrated as a compulsory subject. In early years Spanish is taught as a school-specific elective; from grade 4 it becomes an A2 language, and from grade 7–9 it reaches B2. The high school began in 2007, combining on-site teaching with online learning via partner schools. Students receive a laptop and textbooks with an individualized study plan guided by a counselor. The campus features Ravintola Aurinkola and welfare services, including a school psychologist and tutors, plus Niilo Mäki Institute screening and accommodations as needed. The school participates in Liikkuva Koulu and KiVa Koulu to promote activity and safe learning.
