It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself as principal of BIC Sa Porrassa.
Our school has tremendous strengths, not least a delightful student body, supportive parents, and a team of excellent, hardworking, and committed staff. Our school educates children between the ages of 3 and 18; this all-through element is one of its many strengths. Having the curriculum joined up from the earliest years right through to the end of Year 11 is both essential and easily attained. We have a broad and balanced 11-year curriculum in all subjects, ensuring that the children learn in a sequential manner and building on their prior knowledge.
We also encourage all our students to fulfil their 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. We pride ourselves on being a truly international school community, welcoming over 40 nationalities. Through contact with a variety of languages, cultures and beliefs our students leave Baleares International College equipped for the global challenges of the 21st century.
