About international schools in Mallorca, Spain

Mallorca’s international schools are concentrated around Palma and the south-west coast and offer a wider range of curricula than many expect for an island destination. English-medium British curriculum options are the most common, alongside a small number of schools offering the International Baccalaureate, German, French or Swedish programmes; lessons on the island are typically delivered in English, Spanish and Catalan, with German common at German-language schools. Fees are noticeably lower than comparable schools in Madrid, London or Paris - entry-level international provision can start from roughly €550 per month, while mid-range international schools commonly charge the equivalent of about €800 - 1,200 per month (annual figures therefore usually fall in the low thousands to around €10 - 15k, with extras such as registration, buses and materials added). The school year runs September - June, the main intake is in September and many schools operate rolling admissions if places become available, so families relocating should research and start applications as early as possible and factor in local paperwork such as empadronamiento, NIE and proof of health insurance.

FAQs for Spain

What curricula and qualifications will I find at affordable international schools in Mallorca?
Most affordable international options on the island follow the British curriculum (Primary Years, GCSE/IGCSE and A-Level pathways) or a bilingual Spanish/foreign curriculum; there are also schools offering the International Baccalaureate, and a licensed German school that leads to the German Abitur. Which qualification suits you depends on whether you expect to return to a specific country, move elsewhere, or prefer a Spanish university route, so check recognition and equivalence for your home system before enrolling.
How much should I budget for school fees and extra costs?
Indicative entry-level international provision can start at around €550 per month, with many mid-range international schools charging approximately €800 - 1,200 per month; annual tuition therefore commonly ranges from the low thousands up to around €10 - 15k. Expect additional one-off or recurring costs for registration/enrolment fees, school transport, lunch, uniforms and learning materials, and always confirm the full fee schedule with the school before accepting a place.
When should I apply and how does the admissions rhythm work?
The academic year on Mallorca typically runs from September to June and September is the primary intake point, so families planning a move in the autumn should begin research and applications many months in advance. Many schools accept mid-year or rolling admissions when places are available, but popular schools maintain waiting lists, so early contact, visits or online assessments will improve your chances of securing a preferred place.
Are state or semi-state schools a practical alternative for newcomers seeking an affordable option?
State (público) and concertado (semi-state) schools are free or very low cost, but in the Balearics instruction is usually in Catalan with Spanish as well, which can be a substantial barrier for children new to the island. Some concertado schools offer bilingual support and there are subsidised international tracks in a few cases, but families who need immediate English-medium continuity or internationally recognised qualifications often prefer private international schools despite the fees.
What practical documents and local steps should I sort out before enrolment?
Schools commonly ask for proof of identity (passport/ID), recent school reports translated if necessary, vaccination records, the family’s empadronamiento (local residence registration) and, for non-EU nationals, NIE or visa paperwork, plus evidence of health insurance. Start the empadronamiento and any visa/NIE steps early, and ask the chosen school for a complete enrolment checklist and deadlines so you can assemble translations, notarised documents and medical records in good time.
