(Mallorca) The school?s philosophy is based on the term ?Education? in the widest possible sense.
We create a happy working atmosphere where each child can feel that he belongs and where every individual is a very important part of the whole. The child is loved for himself and the important part he/she plays in the school whether academically, artistically, in the sports area, as a personality or as a combination of all four.
The teachers all look for the positive attributes of each child and encourage these, whilst discovering any weaknesses and helping in every way.
It is very important for us that each child is happy in school, thus developing a love of learning, gaining confidence and security within himself/herself which will continue for the rest of his/her life.
The school was opened in 1985 with 25 children and two teachers. It originally started up as a Summer School, which due to it?s success carried on as a Preparatory School in September 1985. Now the school has over 150 pupils whose ages range from 3 years to 14 years, 14 full time teachers and 4 part time teachers.
The school is located 7 kms from Palma in the Mallorcan countryside. The old Manor house is set amongst seven acres of orchard, garden and playing fields. On the school premises are located a football field, swimming pool, tennis court, volleyball pitch and riding piste, as well as the kindergarten play area and the adventure play area.
The Teaching medium is English, other languages taught are Spanish, Catalan and German.
