Colegio Finlandés

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.
