Introduction

The Academy International School Junior Campus is located on a seven-acre rural estate in Marratxí, characterized by its traditional Mallorcan country house architecture and extensive natural spaces. Students follow the National Curriculum of England and Wales, transitioning from the Early Years Foundation Stage through to Primary and eventually the International Baccalaureate Diploma. A unique feature of the campus is its integration of nature into daily life; the grounds house several animals, including horses, which students learn to care for as part of their extracurricular activities. Facilities include an orchard, a vegetable garden, a swimming pool, and specialized rooms for music and art. Learning often extends beyond the classroom into the "paddock" or gardens, fostering a connection with the environment. With a student body representing over 30 nationalities, the school maintains a community-focused atmosphere where all year groups interact. The school day runs from 8:55 am to 4:00 pm, supported by an "Early Bird" morning service.
