My Journey to Founding ISLA
As a mother of three, my children’s education has always been very important to me. My husband and I settled with our family in Mallorca, where we hoped to find the perfect school for our children. Unfortunately, none of the existing options met our expectations. Each of our children is unique—one thrives with the freedom to learn independently, while another prefers a structured academic approach.
It became clear that a one-size-fits-all system wasn’t suitable for our family. In 2024, I decided to take a bold step: I founded ISLA Academy— designed to provide individualised learning support for every child.
Whether a student excels in math or prefers hands-on activities like gardening, ISLA adapts to their needs. For example, we can challenge advanced learners while supporting free-spirited ones who may, for instance, learn to read and write at their own pace, even at a late age.
We were incredibly fortunate to find a suitable terrain and buildings early on. Just outside Manacor. Transforming it into a beautiful learning space was not easy, but with hard work, it’s now a campus where children can flourish. While there’s always more to do, ISLA Academy has already become a nurturing environment that inspires growth.


In 2025, we found our perfect partner for high-level, personalised secondary education up to pre-university level: the Mallorca Tutoring Academy (MTA). ISLA and MTA share the ambition to take individual learning to the next level. Both ISLA and MTA are passionate about a student’s progress, and a personalised and individual learning journey not only for academia but also for life skills.
MTA’s mission is to provide a student centric, affordable, individually tailored, high-quality education to students that meets with the pace to suit their personal needs, life and learning preferences, making their learning journey enjoyable and effective. I couldn’t agree more when it comes to academics!
This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the remarkable team of teachers and staff who bring their expertise, passion, and love for education to the academy. Nor would it have succeeded without the trust and support of the parents, our own family and local community who believe in our vision.
