What the days look like
Monday–Friday 09:30–12:45. Ages 5–10 and off-season: two 45-minute Spanish lessons, a break, then two activity lessons using games, crafts or outings. Juniors 11–17 take 20 Spanish lessons weekly. Holiday makeup rules vary by course; confirm the child’s schedule.
Parents, accommodation and transport
Stay locally with your child. The school can arrange a private city/beach apartment or other lodging separately. 2027 city apartments for 1–2 guests list EUR 900 per 6-night summer week, 4 July–28 August; this is not included in the course figures. From Tokyo, allow for long-haul travel and check flight connections and onward transfers separately.
Why it is in this guide
A clear route for a family’s first Spanish study holiday: children can enrol even when their parents do not take classes, and afternoons remain family time.
Who it may suit
Fits ages 5–12 travelling with a parent who wants a short, structured language course with free afternoons. Off-season groups have 1–5 children.
What to weigh up
This primary-age route requires family care outside lessons. Confirm the actual age group: a 2025 parent reported a teen being moved into an adult class when no teen cohort formed. Group-size reductions may change lesson hours.
Operating history and evidence
Official 2027 PDFs verify dates and fees. Some course pages still show lower 2026 prices, so the 2027 brochure takes precedence here. Dated family reviews exist but do not establish every current teacher or age group.

Liked the school, but her daughter’s booked teen class did not form; she joined an adult A2 class. The school acknowledged the late-August cohort issue.
Shown stay: 25–29 August 2025; school reply: 18 September 2025. Review publication date is not displayed. One verified parent report on a commercial platform; about a teen, not the 5–10 class. Useful evidence to confirm cohorts, not a school-wide failure rate.
