About international schools in Mallorca, Spain

Mallorca offers a surprisingly broad international-school scene concentrated around Palma and the island’s south-west, with roughly 19 schools serving expatriate and local families and a mix of day-school catchments rather than one central campus. Families will commonly find British (GCSE/A-Level), International Baccalaureate programmes, and national tracks such as German, Swedish and French alongside bilingual Spanish/Spanish-state options; many schools operate in English while also teaching Castellano and Catalan. Fees vary by type and age: subsidised or concertado places can be very low-cost, while private international schools typically range from about €4,000 to €15,000 a year (roughly €550 - €1,250 a month) with registration, transport and extras charged on top. The school year follows the Spanish calendar (September start); popular schools run open days, entrance assessments and waiting lists, so it’s normal to contact admissions many months before you need a place and to have recent school reports and ID documents ready when you apply.

FAQs for Spain

Which curricula will I find on Mallorca and how do they differ?
You’ll find a range: British National Curriculum schools (leading to IGCSEs and A-Levels), schools offering the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), and a smaller number that teach national systems such as the German, French or Scandinavian programmes. British schools follow the UK key-stage structure and public exam pathway, IB schools use the IB continuum of inquiry-based programmes, and national schools prepare pupils for the state qualifications of their home system; the choice should match where you expect your child to study after leaving Mallorca.
What languages are used in lessons and how much Catalan or Spanish will my child learn?
Most international schools use English as the main language of instruction but also include Castellano (Spanish) and increasingly Catalan in their programmes, either as taught languages or through CLIL (content and language integrated learning). If you choose a Spanish state or concertado school, Catalan and Spanish are the working languages; private international schools publish their language policy so check whether they offer native-level support or additional language learning for your child.
How much should we budget for school fees and additional costs?
Expect substantial variation: some subsidised or semi-state (concertado) options are low-cost or free, while private international schools typically charge in the region of €4,000 - €15,000 per year depending on age and programme, with bus, meals, uniforms, materials and one-off registration fees extra. Many schools publish their full fee schedules online and note that first-year totals often include non-recurring enrolment charges, so always request a written breakdown of annual and ancillary costs.
When should we start the admissions process and what documents do schools ask for?
The academic year begins in September, and popular schools run open days and assessments months beforehand, so families commonly begin enquiries six to twelve months ahead; late or mid-year moves are possible but may involve waiting lists. Typical admissions requirements are an application form, recent school reports, birth certificate or passport, proof of residence and sometimes entrance tests or an interview and a non-refundable registration or reservation fee - check each school’s admissions page for exact steps.
Can a non-Spanish child attend the local Spanish state school instead of an international school?
Yes - children with legal residence in Spain can attend public (state) schools, where instruction is delivered in Catalan and Spanish and education is free; some families choose concertado (semi-state) schools that mix local curriculum with extra language provision. For families requiring English-medium instruction or an internationally recognised diploma, private international schools are the usual route, but many expatriate children do successfully integrate into local schools with additional language support.
