Bellver International College (Bellver College) is a private British school in Palma de Mallorca, founded in 1950. Its urban campus is in the Marivent area, opposite Marivent Palace, with separate buildings for Primary, Secondary and Special Educational Needs, a Sixth Form study room, a science lab, an art studio, a concert hall and a multi-sports court. Students also use the nearby Princesa de España Sports Centre, which has an Olympic-size swimming pool.
- Early Years and Key Stage 1 (Infants to Year 2)
- Primary (ages 5-11)
- Secondary, Key Stages 3 and 4 (Years 7-11), with IGCSEs
- Sixth Form, Key Stage 5 (Years 12-13), with A levels
Classes have a maximum of fifteen students, and the school states that 85% of its teachers are qualified native English speakers. Bellver is an accredited examination centre for Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel, so students sit IGCSE and A level exams on campus. Meals are prepared in the school's own kitchen, and there are morning and after-school clubs and afternoon activities such as sports, music, drama and robotics. Admissions are rolling throughout the year, subject to places, and include an interview and, depending on age, entrance tests.

Children with no English can join Infants and Reception without extra English support at first.
