Five reasons
to join BIC

We know you want the best education for your child, so that’s why we provide a British education from the very start of your child’s school life and nurture them through to achieving the most prestigious IGCSE and A Level qualifications as part of the English National Curriculum; setting them on a pathway to the most sought-after universities and career paths. Why do we teach A Levels? Because today, it is recognised that A Level qualifications are the gold standard to university entry, highly respected by universities and employers across the world.

We offer a fully-immersive British learning experience for students that will help them to become responsible global citizens who can work together as team players with the skills to excel in the ever-evolving modern marketplace. We’re also proud of our team of highly qualified, fully-trained teachers from the UK, all of whom are specially selected for their experience and excellence.

We never forget the value of your child’s cultural diversity. With students from over 50 different countries, BIC has one of the most international student bodies in Spain. As well as providing a stimulating and cosmopolitan environment, this also means English is truly the common language, and is spoken throughout our schools by students and staff alike.

Baleares International College is part of the Orbital Education group, with sister schools in Doha, Budapest, Ljubljana, Playa del Carmen, Tirana, Alicante, Quito and Shanghai. This provides many exciting opportunities for collaboration, joint projects and reciprocal visits, making us a truly global school.

At Baleares International College, we work with the prestigious UK examination boards Cambridge and Edexcel to deliver the highly esteemed IGCSE and Advanced Level examinations.

We are very proud of our recent IGCSE and A Level examination results, which place BIC among the top international schools on the island. This is in no small part due to our excellent teaching staff, all of whom are fully qualified and experienced, bringing with them the latest pedagogical methodologies and approaches to learning, tracking and assessment.

Our ethos is based on the fact that if your child is happy and inspired to learn, success will follow. We know it’s not all about A stars; it’s about ensuring students make the best possible progress and do the best they can, whatever their level may be. BIC is non-selective and focuses on progression as well as attainment, in line with the current approach in the UK.

We also offer a comprehensive programme of extra-curricular and after-school activities for our students, including sports, arts, expeditions and more. At BIC, we give all our students the chance to develop a wide range of skills both in and out of the classroom.

It is this belief that allows us to ensure that your child is happy, academically challenged and inspired to learn more throughout their time here at BIC.

BIC offers gold-standard education to children aged 3 to 18 years and families have two fantastic schools to choose from: BIC Sant Agustí for children aged 3 to 11, and BIC Sa Porrassa for ages 5 to 18. Both schools provide the same fully immersive British experience, the same English National curriculum and the same highly qualified and experienced teaching staff, along with a wide range of facilities and extra-curricular activities.
