Bellver College

Classes are held at Bellver International College located in Cala Mayor, a tourist area along the southern coast of the island. Bellver International College is a non-denominational co-educational K-12 day school.   Founded in 1950, Bellver is the longest established privately owned British school in Spain. 

The modern purpose-built premises include 22 classrooms, 2 science laboratories, gymnasium, drama hall, library, computer lab, and art room.  The college is situated close to the beach (opposite to the King of Spain's summer palace) in a residential area 3 km from the center of Palma.  

The college's address is:

Bellver International College, Jose Costa Ferrer 5, Marivent Palma 07015 Spain

Computer Facilities

There are currently 24 machines for student use. All machines are served by a high speed ADSL connection to the Internet. In addition, there are laptop portals located outside the computer lab area and wireless internet connection is available through much of the building.

Many students have decided to bring their own laptop computers and ethernet cables with them to Mallorca, and while that is certainly not a requirement, it is encouraged. The computer lab is open from 12:30pm to 6:00pm every weekday, and on a number of weekend afternoons.

Housing

Graduate students attending TCNJ's Mallorca program are responsible for arranging their own housing for their two-, four-, or six-week stays in the Palma area. Housing is available in hotels and apartments within walking distance to the school or along the main bus route. Housing varies from inexpensive to deluxe accommodations. Students can book accommodations either through an agency or working directly with the host hotel.
