Language is a culture’s map. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going. Rita Mae Brown
At MaestroMío, we believe that understanding Spanish culture, its historical legacy, and its roots is essential to learning the Spanish language. This is why we encourage our students to join us in our cultural experiences outside the classroom.
Our extracurricular activities aim to extend the language beyond the classroom and expose students to diverse situations. The primary purpose is to create appropriate environments that provide ideal conditions for practicing the language, socializing, and familiarizing students with the sociocultural aspects of the country they are immersed in.
Our school offers two different types of activities:
The first type takes place during regular class hours and consists mostly of excursions and visits.
The second type, outside school hours, is optional and involves cultural lectures.
All the activities organized by MaestroMío have been carefully thought out and planned to guarantee the active participation of the students.
We organize excursions and visits to historical sites in Málaga, such as tours of the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle or visits to the city’s renowned museums, such as the Pompidou or Casa Natal Picasso.
These activities help students understand the Spanish spoken on the streets, enjoy the language, culture, gastronomy, customs, music, and history of Spain. Through them, students become familiar with the city and use the language in real-life situations with fellow students and locals.
And of course, we offer more recreational activities, always designed to encourage Spanish practice outside the classroom and promote learning our culture, like Spanish cooking classes, flamenco lessons, and sports activities.
In short, we provide a broad and varied cultural program as endless as the city of Malaga itself.
