Mallorca International School - Sa Pobla, Balearic Islands

Antonio L. R.

Our personal story is that after moving from an excellent school in Miami, we brought our two daughters to Mallorca. After exploring many schools on the island, we decided on MySchool, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our choice.

Our daughters are now in their third year, and we have never seen them so connected to and in love with a school. The happiness on their faces, both in and out of school, says it all. The knowledge they’ve gained across all subjects has been excellent, and we are deeply grateful to MySchool and its staff.

One interesting detail is that during vacations, our daughters ask for classes to start again soon (and this even happens on weekends).

It’s important to highlight that MySchool is not a conventional school. It feels more like a community of people who share the same values and have genuine love for children and their progress. Once you're part of it, you feel like you’re part of a big family—everyone knows each other, and that sense of connection is invaluable.

On the island, there are various schools with different approaches, something for everyone. But without a doubt, for us, MySchool has been the perfect choice for our daughters, Hands down and I wish to have gone to a school like myschool.

The only reason I am writing this review is because If I had read an honest review vs an unjustified low rating, I would had made a different decision.

This is not about shaming or saying this education is bad. This was just not the right place for us.

We, as parents, value creativity, emotional intelligence, adequate physical activity and overall well-being. We don’t care about academics for this stage of life (our daughter is 5)

Things I wish I knew;

- My School is NOT a play based school regardless of they telling you it is in the initial interview.
- I wish I knew technology is introduce since they are very young as a learning supportive method(pretty much everyday a video is shown), they learn nursery rhymes through You Tube videos, tutorials on how to draw, and videos about Phonics and such. To me this is unacceptable and sad.
- Kids are given books to read at home which I find wonderful, if it wasn’t because parents get reprimanded (in front of other parents) if they don’t fill out the reading log daily, taking the spontaneity and joy out of reading by making it compulsory. Accordingly to the Reception teacher kids must read by the time they finish Reception (Kindergarten).
- The overall feeling is cold. And if you complain no changes are made.

In terms of offerings, know that on your tour you will be shown the music room but the little kids will not have access to this UNLESS you pay extra for private lessons.

A kitchen where they have cooking classes (one through the year).

All the subjects are taught by the same teachers there is not specializations at this stage. EXCEPT gardening once a week.

The space for little kids to play outside it’s tiny and there is no playground. The kid to teacher ratio is high to make the most profits possible.

I hope this is helpful. Again schools are just very personal and this was just not the right fit for us.

I I don’t normally go out of my way to leave reviews, but I had to make an exception here. My daughter attended the school as an external student to sit her GCSE exams, and I was totally blown away by the extraordinary love, care, and attention she received during her four weeks there. Every staff member was incredibly helpful and dedicated. The headteacher is dynamic and inspiring, and I’ve already recommended this school to several parents. Whatever they are doing here, they are doing it perfectly, creating such a nurturing and supportive environment.

I also want to extend a special thanks to Amy William’s for looking after my daughter from the very beginning to the end. Your dedication made all the difference. Thanks again to everyone for making this the ideal environment for my daughter to excel in her exams.

Both my sons have attended MIS Secondary, and I cannot praise it enough! The students are not only educated at a high and challenging level, but the pastoral care they receive is like nothing I have ever seen.
The school has made a concerted effort to find the right person for each position as well as fit comfortably into the team, which was surely challenging, as it is a small school further away from the big towns. But the result is that every one of my sons’ teachers and administrators has been caring, professional and personable. 5/5 would send my kids there again.

Seule école avec enseignement en anglais dans le nord de l'île, cette école privée récente joue de son exclusivité pour pratiquer des prix qui sont loin d'être abordable pour toutes les bourses avec un enseignement bien loin du niveau des enseignements du sud de l'île. Des professeurs très incompétents mais proche des élèves, un enseignement connecté via Google permet de remonter un peu le niveau. Le cursus s'arrête à Year 11. Cadre de vie de l'école favorable pour les enfants par contre pas de transport scolaire.
Personnellement à fuir pour une bonne éducation de vos enfants.

My son is very happy in this school. He's learning meaningful things, so my wife and I are very happy with the performance and results
