Rafa Nadal School is an authorized overseas school in Spain by the Government of the Balearics and the Ministry of Education and has a code centre number.
Secondary: RNS (Rafa Nadal School) is accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA), one of the six regional accreditation organizations recognized by the United States Department of Education. MSA currently awards accreditation to more than 3.500 schools and to member institutions in more than 85 countries around the world.
In RNS, we do our best to safeguard and promote the welfare of our students in order to develop their full potential and to provide them with a safe and caring environment. We are very conscious that our pastoral care should be in line with our ethos, where respect should be shown to all; teacher to pupil, pupil to teacher as well as pupil to pupil and to the wider community. All our students have an assigned tutor whom they meet regularly to discuss academic and pastoral issues. Also, students in older grades will be mentoring younger students and newcomers, that way everyone feels welcome and supported.
At RNS, we do our best to ensure each student is enthusiastic, encouraged and looked after both in the classroom and out of it. The school day is very full – lessons, sports, hobbies, co-curricular activities, excursions, conferences, environmental issues, fundraising etc. At RNS, something is going on all the time and all our students are involved in many different areas that keep them busy, make them happy and not least important having fun. We believe that happy students make for successful students.
At RNS, there are cultural and educational trips organized throughout the school year. These trips are based on the topic being studied in lessons and reinforce their learning. The excursions vary with each year group and include trips to museums, farms, local industries, historical monuments, theatres and nature reserves.
Students are assigned a classroom called the homeroom in which they meet daily. These assemblies allow the teacher the chance to not only give messages and announcements to all the students and record attendance but more importantly, follow individually on students’ progress and address pastoral duties so the student is cared for. In addition, various themes are addressed and vary throughout the year and include issues such as sharing, social responsibility, recycling, inclusion, bullying, etc. This assembly time forms an integral part of our pastoral care. Students may also have the opportunity to take turns to direct the assembly in a topic in which they have a special interest in. They may also show some of their work, present a short play or report back to the other grades on a recent excursion.
Our High School program has been specifically designed to prepare our students for entrance to university.

The Career Counselor center helps students understand the various ways they can leverage their experiences inside and outside of the classroom to prepare them to be competitive candidates for university programs after graduation, with a focus on specific majors and knowledge of job market conditions.
For those students wishing to go to university in the US with a tennis scholarship, we work closely with I-Con Sports, an internationally-renowned agency, that has over a decade of experience in finding the best universities and scholarships for sports players.
Our Guidance Counsellor assists our students in developing academic and career goals via career exploration, knowledge of different educational programs and consideration of personal interests, skills and values.

RNS requires students to achieve 22 credits to graduate. The graduation requirements are based on NCAA standards (for division 1 universities) and adapted to suit RNS students. Depending on one-to-one college/career counseling, some students may have a reduced timetable and therefore credits. This is subject to principal, student and parent consent.
All RNS courses are NCAA accredited and accepted but RNS will not take responsibility for courses and credits completed at other institutions. At RNS, we have a college counselor who can advise you on the process but RNS cannot guarantee NCAA eligibility for students based off credits taken in their previous school. Students who want to apply for an NCAA eligibility and a tennis scholarship to a US university will need to ensure they are NCAA eligible.
Advanced Placement (AP) classes are college-level courses you take in high school. AP classes are more intense than high school classes and scoring well on AP exams may allow you to earn college credit.
AP classes show admissions officers that you’re ready for college-level work. Admissions counselors consistently tell us that good grades and academic rigor are the most important factors when schools evaluate applications. Even over standardized test scores! Many high schools give extra weight to AP grades when calculating your GPA, including us here at RNA. Taking an AP class and getting a B is often a better choice than getting an A in a regular course.
RNS is committed to offering 4 AP courses over a period of two years to students in 11th and 12th grades. All information about AP courses and exams can be found on the College Board website: https://ap.collegeboard.org/.
RNS is an accredited AP test center and all tests are taken on site with qualified proctors.
AP exams are scored from 1 to 5 with 5 the highest score. Many colleges give credit or advanced placement with a score of 3 or better. AP exams are given in May. There’s an exam fee. Ask our College counselor about AP classes offered at RNS.
The American university system is unique in that it allows a combination of competitive sport with a university degree. Teams representing universities in the US compete at an elite level. To achieve the best possible results, these universities recruit players from all over the world and, as they are not allowed to pay players, they offer sports scholarships to finance students’ studies. The academy works closely with I-Con Sports, an internationally-renowned agency, that has over a decade of experience in finding the best universities and scholarships for sports players.
Requisites:
The universities are divided into three organizations (NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA) and each has its own set of distinct rules regarding eligibility to compete. I-Con Sports and the Academy will guide the students at all times to ensure all rules and regulations are met and that there is no risk to their eligibility.
What is a complete scholarship? A complete sports scholarship covers all costs of the university, such as:
Athletes that do not receive a complete scholarship (100%) will obtain a percentage of the annual university costs.
What is the process?
The Academy follows the American academic system in order to facilitate the process of incorporation to the US university system. The curriculum of each student is also monitored, guiding them to choose the subjects that assist in meeting the eligibility requirements of certain leagues. The Academy will prepare its students for the US university entrance exams.
