How admissions work

Morna International College is a non-selective school. We consider each application individually, taking into account the student's age, previous educational experience and individual needs, the availability of places and our ability to provide the appropriate educational and pastoral support.

Families interested in joining Morna are invited to meet with us and learn more about the School before making a formal application.

As part of the admissions process, we review previous school reports and other relevant information. Students applying for Years 1 to 12 will normally attend a trial morning, giving them an opportunity to experience life at Morna while allowing us to understand their academic level, English language proficiency, learning needs and readiness for the relevant year group.

For families applying from overseas who are unable to visit Ibiza, alternative arrangements may be possible.

Entry requirements vary according to the student's age and stage of education.

In Early Years, no prior knowledge of English, Spanish or Catalan is required.

For Primary and Secondary applicants, we consider previous academic and behavioural reports, readiness for the relevant curriculum and English language proficiency. Where appropriate, English as an Additional Language (EAL) support may be recommended.

Applications to examination year groups are considered particularly carefully. Entry into Year 11 and Year 13 is considered individually, while students applying for Year 12 will normally require a minimum of five GCSE passes at grades 9–4 (or equivalent), including at least Grade 6 (or equivalent) in the subjects they wish to study at A Level.
