BELLVER INTERNACIONAL COLLEGE SA

What BELLVER INTERNACIONAL COLLEGE SA does

Bellver College (formerly Bellver International College), operating as BELLVER INTERNACIONAL COLLEGE SA, is a private British international school located in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Founded in 1950 by a Roman Catholic priest, Don Pedro, the school is the first and oldest private British school in Spain and operates a single secure urban campus opposite the Marivent Palace in Palma. The school delivers the English National Curriculum across four stages — Early Years (ages 3-5), Primary (ages 5-11) under the Cambridge Primary programme, Secondary (ages 11-16) culminating in IGCSEs, and Sixth Form/A-Levels (ages 16-18) — and is dually accredited as an official examination centre for Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel.

The core technology is the British curriculum stack (English National Curriculum, Cambridge Primary, IGCSE, A-Levels) augmented by a strong Spanish and Catalan language integration programme, an in-house Learning Support team (Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy, Visiting Psychologist), a traditional House system, and extra-curricular programming including robotics, sailing, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Class sizes are capped at 15 students, and 85% of teaching staff are qualified native English speakers. Ancillary on-campus services include Morning Club, After-School Club, in-house catering, and dedicated facilities (science laboratory, art studio, concert hall, multi-sports court).

The business model is tuition-driven and subscription-based. Primary revenue is annual tuition fees billed across the academic year covering Early Years through A-Levels, supplemented by monthly-billed ancillary services (Morning Club, After-School Club, catering) and one-time examination fees. Tuition is not publicly disclosed and the school runs rolling admissions subject to class-size capacity. The customer base is split between international and expat families and local Mallorcan families, with no institutional or enterprise customers. The school is privately held — since 2025 by a group of three local entrepreneurs — with no venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment.
