About international schools in Mallorca, Spain

Mallorca’s international schools are a compact but diverse sector that mixes British and International Baccalaureate pathways with Spanish, German, French and some Scandinavian programmes, so families can usually find full provision from nursery through secondary. Instruction is commonly in English at British and many IB schools, while Spanish is taught across nearly all schools and local Catalan (Mallorquí) features in the island’s education environment. Fees vary widely by school and age, with many private international schools charging roughly in the low-thousands to mid-five-figures per year once tuition, transport and extras are counted, and places are often in demand. Most schools follow the island’s September-to-June academic calendar and run admissions, assessment and waiting-list cycles in the months before the September start; island logistics such as school-bus routes and catchment travel time are practical factors to check when relocating.

FAQs for Spain

Which curricula and qualifications are commonly offered on Mallorca?
You will commonly find British curricula (early years through GCSE/IGCSE and A-level pathways), the International Baccalaureate in its PYP/MYP/DP forms, and the Spanish national curriculum alongside German, French or other national systems at a smaller number of schools. Many schools combine two streams (for example, a bilingual Spanish/English offering alongside IB or British assessment routes) so it’s important to check the exact qualification pathways on offer.
What languages are used and will my child learn Catalan or Spanish?
English is the main language of instruction in most British and many IB schools, but Spanish is taught as a core subject in nearly every school and local Catalan (Mallorquí) is an official language of the Balearic Islands and commonly included in the curriculum or as part of local integration programmes. Expect bilingual or language-support arrangements for children new to Spanish, and ask schools how they manage language progression and home-language maintenance.
How much do international schools in Mallorca typically cost?
Tuition levels vary by school, age and programme; published guides and local school lists show fees ranging from roughly €4,000 a year at more affordable institutions up to around €15,000 (or higher) at some full-service international schools, with an average in the low-to-mid-ten-thousands for many places. On top of base tuition expect one-off registration or deposit fees plus regular extras such as lunches, uniforms, exams, activities and school-bus charges.
When should we apply and when does the school year start?
The island follows the Balearic school calendar, with the academic year normally starting in September and finishing in June, so the main intake and application period is typically in the spring and early summer before September enrolment. Individual schools keep their own deadlines, run entrance assessments or interviews at different times, and often operate waiting lists, so contact short-listed schools well before your intended start date to confirm exact steps.
What age ranges and educational stages are available?
Most international schools on Mallorca offer continuity from early years/nursery through primary and into secondary, with many able to educate students up to 16 or 18 years of age (GCSE/IGCSE and A-level or IB Diploma stages). If you need a particular stage or transfer point - such as entry to an IB Diploma programme or A-level years - check how the school structures those years and the typical class sizes.
What practical things should parents check when comparing schools on the island?
Look beyond headline fees: check whether tuition includes lunch, whether there are separate transport and activity charges, how the school supports English-or-Spanish learners, inspection or accreditation status, and the school’s pastoral and safeguarding arrangements. Also consider location and commuting time on an island with seasonal traffic, availability of school buses or private transport, and whether the school’s language and exam pathways match your child’s longer-term plans.
