Palma College – Sixth Form in the heart of Palma

I know Palma College a bit firsthand because I have friends whose children lived there for the past two years. It is a compact, English-speaking sixth form in the middle of Palma, ideal for 16- to 18-year-olds seeking a clear route to university or into the professional world. Classes take place in small groups (maximum 12 students), which makes the difference: teachers have time for one-to-one meetings, weekly tutorials and real feedback — not just grades. Lessons usually run from about 09:00 to 17:00 with fixed and flexible study phases; this trains self-organisation, which is truly needed at university. The programme combines traditional A-Levels with practical BTEC subjects such as Sports or Travel & Tourism. There is also an enrichment programme: practical short courses (First Aid, Mandarin, video editing), guest lecturers and mentoring. The current address is Carrer Can Verí, close to the cathedral; from September 2026 a modern campus with laboratories, a theatre and sports facilities is planned. For families from outside the area, a host-family boarding option will start. If you are looking for a focused, international environment but not a huge school community, a visit is worthwhile — preferably in the afternoon when the small cafeteria is full of student projects.
