Schools
There are 19 international schools on the Island and many pre-schools to chose we have listed the ones we have personal and experience with as well as word-of-mouth knowledge of.



Nursery/Preschool
There are plenty of Pre-schools or Nursery to chose form on the island and we have included the ones we or friends of ours have tried. There are of course many more but these are the ones we feel comfortable recommending


- CEI nursery – state run Spanish nursery located all over the island. Monthly fee is subsidised so very affordable.
- Tiny Town Academy – Lovely English/ Spanish nursery run by an ex nurse in Palma Nova. The staff are super friendly and genuinely love playing with the littles.
- Dragonfly British Nursery – British nursery in Palma.
- Happy Faces – Popular expat nursery and early years school in Bonanova
- Pequeno da Vinci – Montessori approach park adjacent
Camps
- Finca S’illa – Farm camp and family activity. Taking care and learning about farm animals. Sweet, affordable finca. They have day camps on various holidays thought the year and family events. The instructors mostly speak Spanish but enough English for the little ones to follow the activities.
- Agora – A variety of summer camps offered in both Spanish and English. Size of classes are not huge so kids get good care from their camp counsellors. I am not sure how much time they spend outside because the weather is very hot during the summer but the indoor spaces are big. My kid always came home with hilarious art and learned how to swim in under a week!
- Sailing Camp Cala Nova – Sailing camp from 4 years old throughout the summer
- Queen’s College – Like many international schools Queen’s does a summer school program over the entire summer, info is released closer to the relevant time. For the younger kids they have water-play and kids club resembling activities and for the older kids more sports are available. Their is also a swim add-on you pay extra for.
