April is one of the most important months of the year for parents, as many have to carry out the enrolment process for their children. For this reason, it is essential to know the educational centre where you want your children to study. The search engine 'Mi Cole' has compiled a ranking of the best rated public, private and subsidised schools in the Balearic Islands and another of the best rated secondary schools in the Islands. In this article you can see two lists with the top 10 in each educational stage.
In the case of schools, the first place goes to Col-legi Sant Pere, a state-subsidised centre for nursery, primary, secondary, baccalaureate and vocational training, which is located in Palma and its vehicular language is Catalan. It is important to note that it is ranked 23rd out of the 100 best schools in Spain. The second in this prestigious ranking is Colegio Institució Mallorca Aixa-Llaüt, a state-subsidised centre for infant, primary, secondary and baccalaureate education in the Balearic capital. It should be noted that it is religious in nature and gender-differentiated, but in September 2024 it will cease to be so; its vehicular language is Spanish.
The third best rated school in the Balearic Islands is Madre Alberta, which offers nursery, primary, secondary and baccalaureate education; it is also in Palma. Its educational model is based on active and innovative methodologies; and its language level is trilingual, as its vehicular languages are Spanish, English and Catalan. These three schools are among the 100 best rated by families in Spain.
To find a public school on this list, you have to go down to 23rd place, where Santa Isabel appears, where pupils can study infant and primary education; it is also in Palma. It is a bilingual school, as its vehicular languages are Spanish and Catalan.

I wonder how well these schools would fare under an Ofsted inspection? According to Mi Cole, they rank these schools by…what for it… feedback from families, number of hits on that specific school’s information page on their site and… number of open day booking requests made through their site. Nothing about actual quality of education.
Exactly this list is based on what? Education? Academics? Quality of the childs life in general? I have lived here over 20 years with two children still in school. The public Spanish system is poor beyond belief, and stuck in the stone age. If you want your kids brainwashed, and copying from a blackboard all day then it's fine. Oh and the obsession of Catalan (except San Cayetano) is ignorance and not helpful beyond Cataluyna.
