Private or Public School in Mallorca?
Private international schools may rank highly in Mallorca, but the best fit depends on the child and the family.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Is a private international school in Mallorca always better than a public school?
Not necessarily. Private international schools may score well in rankings because they have more resources, specialised staff or international curricula, but that does not make them the best choice for every child. Public schools in Mallorca can offer strong teaching and may be a better fit depending on a family's priorities, language needs and budget.
