The Baleares International College is located on the edge of open countryside in the beautiful area of Sa Porrassa, Calvia, in the South West of Mallorca. It was established in 1957 and is one of the oldest providers of international education on the island. It joined the Orbital Education group in 2006 and caters to a vibrant community of expatriate and local pupils from the age of 2 to 18 years of age.

The Baleares International College offers a broad based British style curriculum adapted to suit the needs of our diverse community. Its educational programme begins with the Foundation Stage curriculum for pupils aged 2-5 years and in subsequent year groups the curriculum follows the programme recommended by the British Education Department. The final years of the curriculum culminate in a series of external examinations taken between the ages of 16 and 18 years of age. These courses are devised by the prestigious Cambridge and Edexcel Examination Boards in England and result in pupils gaining IGCSE qualifications followed by AS and A-levels. These examinations enable pupils to gain entry to prestigious universities in many countries around the world.

The Baleares International College currently educates pupils from 27 countries, with many arriving with little ability to speak English, so the EAL (English as an Additional Language) programme enables them to make progress quickly. Languages play a major role in the College's educational programme; Spanish is taught from age 2, German from age 6 and French from 14 years old. Pupils are taught by fully qualified, experienced British teachers as well as a number of language teachers from Spain, Germany and France.

Pupils are provided opportunities to take part in a wide variety of sport including sailing, kayaking and windsurfing, to ensure they can take adva
