Homeschooling in Spain

[micheleb]

I live in Nerja, near Malaga and home school my 2 daughters ages 13 and 15. They are studying GCSE's and everything is going really well education wise. I have organised for them to sit the IGCSE exams at a college in Malaga in November. Just wondered if there are any other parents out there who home educate kids of a similar age as I feel the only drawback for the girls is lack of interaction with people their own age. They talk to people their own age via the net all the time but only have a couple of friends they see here.

Hi was so pleased to find your posting,
I have 11 yr old daughter who is home educated in the uk at present,and we are hoping to relocate to spain in the next few months,and I was worried that I could not continue to home educate in spain.So it was great to see your posting.
Can you tell me if your children are managing to pick up the spanish language?
Is it hard for them to interact with other children?
I have been really worried about all of these things and more,and any help or advice you could give me would be a god send.
Are there any home educator groups etc in spain?
Sorry to ramble on,but it is just so nice to find that there is someone in spain who is home educating.
thanks and hope you can find the infomation you requirer.

Hi there,
We are a home-educating family currently living in Coín/Yunquera area.
We have a son, nearly 13, and a daughter, nearly 15.
It's hard for us too, to find social contacts! A friend found your post, micheleb, and emailed me the link today.
Haven't explored this site properly yet to know if you can pm me, but if you get hold of 'Sur in English' for last week (i.e. from Friday 2nd May) I put an ad in there in the personal column, with my phone no.
Otherwise I'll keep an eye on this site.
It would be cool to meet up if you like, maybe in Malaga city?hope to hear from you!
