Spain & Families – Learn Spanish in its natural environment…
Would you like your child to take a leap that will shape their future? With Spain & Families, we offer the opportunity to study in Spain without losing academic momentum, backed by an authentic and secure experience.
You choose the option that best fits: full academic year, half-year, or trimester.
We are a family-run organization, approachable and with personalized care: your child will be treated as part of our international family.
They will live with a carefully selected Spanish host family, many of whom are familiar with Irish culture because their own children have studied in Ireland. Additionally, your child will have a tutor assigned 24/7, based on their gender, with a clean criminal background check, ensuring your peace of mind.
They will attend a Spanish school and receive a report card fully compatible with the Irish educational system, so there’s no academic setback.
And what better place for your child to grow than Spain? With sunshine, culture, active youth, vibrant gastronomy, international friendships… and a lifestyle full of joy. And just a 3-hour flight from Ireland.
Join us and over 500 students who have been through our hands and lived this experience. Allow your child to embark on this safe, enriching adventure full of personal growth.

About us
A family-run organization with heart and experience
More than 500 students, a dedicated team, a transformative experience for your child.
At Spain & Families, we understand that each student deserves more than an academic stay: they deserve to feel valued, accompanied, and safe. We are a family-run organization, managed with professionalism, closeness, and commitment, and we have over 500 students who have been through our hands.
Our team lives in Seville and its surroundings, allowing us to offer continuous and personal follow-up: from the pre-arrival preparation, the student’s journey, arrival, integration into the host family, to their return. We are not a large impersonal organization, but a family that understands what it means to entrust your child’s education in another country.
Our mission is clear: for your child not only to learn Spanish—in its natural environment—but also to develop confidence, broaden their worldview, and experience the best of Spanish culture.
Thanks to our experience, we offer you:
- Carefully selected host families, many of whom have experience hosting young people from other countries.
- A tutor assigned 24/7, based on the student’s gender, to accompany them throughout their stay.
- Spanish schools with report cards compatible with the Irish educational system, avoiding any academic setbacks.
- Continuous follow-up of your child and fluid communication with families and schools.
With Spain & Families, your child will be part of an international community but will feel at home. We are here for you, for your family, and for this important decision. Our commitment is that this experience—whether a year, half-year, or trimester—be safe, enriching, memorable… and the first step towards a promising future.
Study in a safe environment
Safety, well-being, and peace of mind for you and your family
At Spain & Families, we know how important your child’s safety and well-being are in another country. That’s why we’ve established rigorous standards:
- All host families have been carefully selected, with verified references and experience in hosting young people.
- Many of these families are familiar with Irish culture because their own children have studied in Ireland, facilitating the student’s adaptation.
- Each host family holds a valid certificate of registration for individuals working or living with minors (Criminal Record Certificate) issued by Spanish authorities.
- The school and destination city offer a safe and stable environment, with continuous support from our local team.
With us, your child will feel at home… and you can relax knowing they are well cared for.
