Helping Every Student Reach Their Potential
Secondary education is a formative stage in every young person’s life. At Baleares International College, students are supported academically and personally as they develop greater confidence, independence and ambition.
Our broad British curriculum combines academic rigour with creative, practical and sporting opportunities. Students build strong foundations during Key Stage 3 before progressing to internationally recognised IGCSE qualifications in Years 10 and 11.
Throughout their journey, experienced teachers provide the individual guidance, encouragement and challenge each student needs to succeed.
Internationally Recognised IGCSE Qualifications
In Years 10 and 11, students work towards IGCSE qualifications recognised by schools, universities and employers around the world.
Core areas of study include:
- English Language and Literature
- Mathematics
- Spanish
- Double Science
- Global Citizenship
- Physical Education
Learning in an International Environment
English is the principal language of teaching, with additional opportunities to study Spanish, Catalan, French and German.
This multilingual education allows students to connect with life in Mallorca while developing the communication skills and cultural awareness needed for an increasingly international future.
Additional English language support is available for students who need help accessing the curriculum and settling confidently into school life.
Beyond the classroom - Discover New Interests and Develop New Skills
Secondary students have opportunities to broaden their experience through activities beyond the academic curriculum.
Depending on availability and year group, these may include:
- Competitive and recreational sport
- Music, art and drama
- Educational visits
- International events
- Leadership opportunities
- House activities
- Community projects
- Extracurricular clubs
- The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award
These experiences help students build friendships, develop confidence and discover abilities that may not always emerge in the classroom.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself as principal of BIC Sa Porrassa. As principal, my aim is to build on the school’s strong foundations and make it the number one school of choice on the island. For the children in our care, my aim is that they enjoy school and love coming here, just as I loved my own school days.
