Education platform Micole has published its ranking of the top 50 schools in the Balearics for 2026, offering families a clear guide to the region’s leading educational options. Topping the list is Agora Portals International School in Calvia, followed by Luis Vives in Palma and Mallorca Aixa-Llaüt, a state-assisted school, in third place. The full list spans Mallorca, Ibiza, and Menorca, and includes private, state, and state-assisted schools.

The top-rated institution, Agora Portals International School, is not only number one in the Balearics but also appears at No. 47 on the list of the best schools in Spain, solidifying its reputation regionally and nationally.

Micole updates this ranking annually, evaluating schools on academic performance, facilities, community engagement, institutional quality, and digital presence. According to the platform, the rankings are “based on offer and results, services, community satisfaction, inclusion, and academic performance on Micole.”

The Schools Debate Competition in Mallorca is an annual inter‑school debating event that brings together students from a range of local international and bilingual schools to research, prepare, and argue on topical motions in front of judges and peers.

Schools Debates Participants

Several of the top-ranked schools also participate in the Schools Debate competition, which the Bulletin supports each year. These include Agora Portals International School, Baleares International College (BIC), and San Cayetano, showcasing their commitment to student engagement, critical thinking, and public speaking.

Baleares International College: A Unique British Education

A standout among the top 50, BIC is the only British school on the list, providing a British-style international education for boys and girls aged 3 to 18. This makes it a distinctive choice for families seeking a globally recognized curriculum in the Balearics.
