Meet Our Teaching Team

At Raoul Wallenberg International School in Palma, our teaching team is the cornerstone of the nurturing and enriching learning environment we aim to provide. Guided by the values and ethos of our role model, Raoul Wallenberg, our educators are dedicated to supporting every student’s journey to becoming a compassionate, resilient, and successful global citizen.

We are proud to have assembled an exceptional team of teachers who bring a wealth of expertise, passion, and commitment to our school. Our team combines extensive international experience with a deep understanding of local culture and history, ensuring that students benefit from a truly global yet locally relevant education.

Our educators are highly qualified in their respective subjects and are adept at fostering critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. They embrace modern teaching methodologies, such as problem-based learning and interdisciplinary approaches, to ensure students thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

Beyond academics, our teachers are deeply committed to the pastoral care of our students, helping them build strong character traits such as honesty, compassion, courage, and drive. They work tirelessly to inspire students to reach their full potential, whether through personalised support for those who need it or by challenging students who are ready to go further.

We are excited to have this dynamic team lead our classrooms as we lay the foundation for lifelong learning and a harmonious, successful future for our students.
