What baleares international school sl does

Baleares International School Mallorca S.L., trading as Baleares International College (BIC), is a private British international school operating two campuses on the island of Mallorca, Spain: BIC Sant Agustí (Early Years and Primary, ages 3-11) and BIC Sa Porrassa (Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form, ages 5-18). The school delivers the English National Curriculum from Early Years Foundation Stage through IGCSE and A Level qualifications, awarded through Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel examination boards. BIC has been operating since 1957 and has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orbital Education Group since 2008, a network of 13 international schools educating over 7,500 students across Europe, Asia, North America and South America.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tuition-based, with families enrolling via the Orbital Education-powered online admissions portal and paying recurring fees per academic term or year for each child. Fees are not publicly disclosed; prospective families must contact the admissions team directly. The school's technology stack centres on standard K-12 school management platforms — a SharePoint-based Student Portal, SchoolCloud for clubs/trips/teacher consultations, an Orbital Education admissions portal, and a Parent Portal — rather than proprietary or AI-driven systems. The student body spans 45 nationalities, and academic outcomes are positioned as a differentiator, including 84% A-C grades at A Level.

BIC holds multiple accreditations that anchor its market positioning: it is the first and only COBIS compliant school in Mallorca, an accredited member of the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS), and the first school in the Balearic Islands to complete a full British Schools Overseas (BSO) inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in December 2025. Leadership comprises Principals at each campus (Elizabeth Compton at Sant Agustí since 2023, Alison Colwell at Sa Porrassa, with Andrew Beavon designated to take over Sant Agustí from 2026-27), a Vice Principal/SENDCo, Head of Finance and Operations, HR Manager and functional support staff, consistent with a 51-100 employee organisation operating within Orbital Education's governance and shared services framework.
