🇬🇧 Queen’s College Mallorca

• Area: Bonanova (Palma)
• Curriculum: British and IB
• Grades: Nursery to Sixth Form / IB Diploma

Founded in 1977, Queen’s College is a true staple of Mallorca’s international community, nestled right below the Bellver forest. It has an outstanding reputation for academic excellence, prepping students for GCSEs and A-Levels, with the option to add Spanish qualifications. It is immensely popular with both international expats and local Mallorcan families alike.

We asked the schools to summarize their ethos and greatest pride.

“At Queen’s, we believe academic rigour and emotional development go hand in hand; each making the other stronger. We hold high expectations for every student, reflected in their academic progress and achievements, within a community where each child is genuinely known, supported and valued as an individual. The same balance runs through the rest of who we are: deep roots, a strong sense of identity and continuity across generations, alongside an open, forward-thinking outlook that keeps investing in new programmes and modern facilities. Our setting plays its part, too. Bordering the Bellver Forest, we treat the outdoors as a place to learn. What we hope grows from all of this is character: young people who are confident and kind, ambitious and grounded, curious and ready for the world beyond school. “

“Our students and the relationships we build with them are at the heart of school life. With around 550 pupils, approximately one member of academic staff for every nine students, and Sixth Form classes averaging just six students, we are able to develop a genuine understanding of each student. This enables us to provide academic and pastoral support that is tailored to each student’s needs and strengths. That sense of connection extends beyond individual year groups. Many of our families have been part of the Queen’s community for two or even three generations, reflecting the trust and continuity that have long been part of the school’s character.”

🆕 Raoul Wallenberg International School (RWIS Palma)

• Area: La Vileta (Palma)

• Grades: Year 1 to Year 9 (expanding up to IB Diploma)

The new kid on the block! RWIS Palma opened its doors in 2024, bringing the celebrated, values-based pedagogical philosophy of Sweden’s Raoul Wallenberg schools to the Mediterranean. Currently utilizing the Cambridge system, they are actively transitioning to the IB framework and expanding their grade levels year by year. It’s a wonderful choice for families seeking a warm, secure, and modern learning environment.

We asked the schools to summarize their ethos and greatest pride.

“At Raoul Wallenberg International School, we believe education should develop the whole child. While academic excellence is important, we place equal value on students’ social, emotional, physical, and personal growth. Our aim is to nurture confident, independent, and resilient young people who are prepared not only for exams, but for life.

Inspired by the values of Honesty, Compassion, Courage, and Drive, we create a learning environment where students feel challenged, supported, and genuinely known. Through our inquiry-based and student-centred approach, we encourage curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration, and a love of learning that extends beyond the classroom.“

“What makes us most proud is the strong sense of community that exists throughout the school. We are still a relatively young and growing school, which allows us to know our students and families exceptionally well. Relationships matter here.“

“Parents often tell us that RWIS feels welcoming, personal, and authentic. Students are encouraged to pursue their interests, develop their character, and discover their strengths, while being supported by a caring and highly committed team of educators.“

“If there is one thing we would like prospective parents to know, it is that we genuinely strive to make a positive difference for every single child in our care. Everything we do, from our curriculum and wellbeing programmes to our extracurricular activities and community events, is guided by that belief.“
