We pride ourselves in the fact that our children benefit from a genuinely rounded education where each individual is encouraged to fulfill their own potential, not only academically but also to take advantage of the plentiful opportunities presented to them in areas such as music, sport, drama, and art. Likewise, the truly international student body at the school ensures that pupils benefit from a wealth of experiences often transcending the classroom. Through contact with a variety of languages, cultures, and beliefs our students leave Baleares International College ready to shape the global challenges the 21st-century presents. Students will sit public examinations at IGCSE and A'level with most obtaining the necessary grades to go to the university of their choice. In many instances, students will return to their country of origin safe in the knowledge that the A'level grade obtained will grant them access to the courses they choose – the qualification is still considered the ‘gold standard’ as far as university admittance is concerned. All subjects are taught in English and students have the option to pursue qualifications in a variety of languages including French, German, and naturally Spanish. The school ethos is found within our three keywords, Believe Inspire Challenge. We must ensure students BELIEVE in themselves, their ability, and their potential. Likewise, we too must BELIEVE in them and encourage them to BELIEVE in us. It is our job to INSPIRE our students INSPIRE them to have dreams, goals, and ambitions and provide them with the means to realize them. Students must CHALLENGE expectations and we must CHALLENGE them in the work we set and the standards we expect them to adhere to. We are also fortunate to have both our Primary and Secondary departments on one site, ensuring ease of transition and nurturing key values from an early age that will accompany them into adulthood, from nursery to university.
