Colegio Maravillas was founded in 1976 as a private Spanish school. Only a few years later, in 1978, the Language School was opened in an independent building, only 50 meters from from the main school. There is also a library, a video room, a dining room and cafeteria, and sports grounds.
Students also have access to e-mail and the internet.
The Colegio teaches foreign languages to Spaniards as well and prepares them for university exams, hence students are generally interested in conversational exchange. The modern teaching methods and equipment at Colegio are accompanied by skilled and friendly teachers and administrative staff. Colegio Maravillas' teachers have been carefully selected after considering their qualifications, previous teaching experience and personalities. Lying south in the Iberian Peninsula, bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean and with the Sierra Nevada rising steeply behind, the Costa del Sol offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere, magnificent beaches, starkly contrasting colors, simple and primitive fishing villages, luxuriant subtropical valleys and high mountains that protect the coast from the chill of the hinterland. Benalmadena is a small town with approximately 30,000 inhabitants.
