Welcome to MIT School Malaga
Javier Díaz Cabrera
General Manager
Málaga Institute of Technology MIT® School is the only school in Malaga authorized by the Junta de Andalucía as bilingual in English in Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary and in the three High School modes. We combine this with Chinese learning (from 3 years), German (from 1 Primary), French (optional from 1 ESO) and Russian (extracurricular).
Our school combines on its educational project the ancient wisdom with the modern knowledge. Therefore, the pillars of our teaching are new technologies, sport and values such as hard work, dedication, enthusiasm, respect, courtesy and discipline. Our goal is to achieve an education that involves the enjoyment of learning and enables the discovery of the each student’s ways to reach development and happiness.

Why choose MIT School Malaga?
Facilities
In MIT School we believe that improving the school environment, its interior and external spaces, it is not only a matter of aesthetics but can affect relationships and quality of life. Because the light, temperature, humidity, acoustic conditions and furniture in the classroom are all elements that can affect the learning process, we have taken special care of it, and have all these factors automated and monitored by computer.
On the other hand, we have a great dojo to practice martial arts, a basketball court, a soccer field, several paddle courts, an area to practice golf, another to practice beach volleyball, some more to play table tennis, stables for riding… The youngest also have an area specially designed for them, with padded floor and recreational facilities.
Reception and Primary Education
The Reception and Primary Sections have big and luminous classrooms. The pupils have Tablet PC computers in the classrooms, digital interactive whiteboards, digital cameras, programmable games, cookware, musical instruments, television and a wide range of games that foment the physical development and materials for the imaginative game too.
In Reception, children from non-Spanish speaking backgrounds are introduced to the language at this early age to promote bilingual skills which they can develop fully as they progress through the school. In Primary, children coming from families that do not speak English will continue developing their bilingual skills that will be completely fulfilled as they progress through school. In addition, Chinese is taught from Primary 1 and German from Primary 4.
Secondary Education and High School
The teachers at MIT School make a great effort and an excellent work to achieve that this first experience in the Secondary Education means an amusing, satisfactory, valuable and unforgettable adventure. Each day brings the opportunity to experience a full range of areas of the study plan through activities carefully planned and appropriate for the pupil’s age.
Secondary School already provides the guidelines to be followed by the students in their future career, as they have to choose in their 4th year the appropriate options to their aspirations among Latin, Biology, Physics and Chemistry.
The High School Section, bilingual as every other stage, has the options of Humanities and Social Sciences, Science and Technology, and Arts.
