Pastor's Welcome
We are thrilled that you are considering SPCC Christian School. It is our desire to support you, the parent, in the education of your children. For years we have had a passion for a Christian school. Our ambition is a school that provides a loving environment where students can think about all matters of life, including God. Also, a school where children would be set on a balanced foundation to live by.
As H. Van Dyke of Princeton University said, "In education, I would... concentrate attention on teaching men to use their powers of observation accurately, their powers of reasoning intelligently, their powers of imagination and sympathy vividly and their powers of will sanely and strongly - in short, to know things as they are, to conceive them as they might be, and to help make them as they ought to be. That is the real purpose of education."
It is our desire to help you as you consider SPCC Christian School for your children. We are completely available with any questions you may have.
Kind regards,
Raf Manzanares

Principal's Welcome
Welcome parents and students!
My name is Zully Ruano and I am honored to serve as Principal of SPCC Christian School. As a former primary and secondary teacher, I value the academic, social, and emotional development of each child. I believe that all students are capable of extraordinary accomplishments! They have a huge capacity to make a difference in this world, and we have the privilege of walking alongside them.
What makes SPCC Christian School a unique place? It is our commitment to academic excellence in a loving environment founded on the Christian faith. Students are challenged to ask tough questions, work hard in the classroom, and delve into the joys of all academic subjects. In my years of teaching and post-graduate studies in education, I have developed a deep passion to prepare students for lives of significance – developing critical thinking skills, creativity, faith, and compassion.
My goal is to work together with teachers, administrators, and parents to provide our students with a rich learning environment. Together we form a strong partnership to ensure that all of our students receive an exceptional education. We are ready to start a great year of adventures in learning!
I welcome you and hope that you will become part of the SPCC Christian School family.
Blessings,
Zully Ruano

Our History
For more than 20 years we have taught youth and children.
Santa Ponsa Community Church (SPCC) has been active as a family church serving the community in Mallorca. SPCC has always been involved in teaching youth and children. It is now our desire to help families through a Christian International School.
For many years, youth from all over the world attended a bible college hosted and ran by SPCC.
Every year we run a vacation school for about 50-60 students at a time, and every week a playgroup takes place at the church.
However, in our desire to help more families, the church prayed for a Christian School in Mallorca. Our prayer was for a school that would give students the freedom to think about all matters concerning God, to help children develop critical thinking skills, and to instill moral values based on the Christian faith. A school that would also help parents access affordable schooling in English for their children in Mallorca.
After many years of praying, we have seen God bring a team together from various professions and experiences to begin SPCC Christian School. Our desire for this school is to work hand in hand with families to lay a balanced foundation in the life of each child that comes to SPCC Christian School.
Vision
Our vision is to provide a loving and learning environment in a non-profit, high standard, fully functioning Christian School.
Purpose
Our purpose is to support parents in the laying of a balanced foundation in their children’s lives that they may build their future and success on it.
School Ethos
Loving Learning Environment
Our goal will be to give an expression of care to every child and to help them realize that they are unique. Our aim is to create an environment in which students are valued, respected, and equipped to understand educational principles as well as having the freedom to think about all matters concerning God.
They will be loved and encouraged to acknowledge that they make every day special by being themselves and that no one is like them.
Non-Profit
Our fees will be aimed at covering the expenses of the school but with no distribution of profit, thereby making us cheaper than comparative private schools in Mallorca.
Our focus and motivation will always be in the best interest of our students. Therefore, our purpose as a non-profit school is to reinvest any profit back into the students, teachers, facilities, and their development.
Christian School
We will welcome children from all backgrounds. Our aim is to provide our students with a balanced education based on values such as kindness, compassion, love, and humility anchored in the Christian faith. We will introduce our students to the knowledge of the wonderful character of God that will encourage them to love God and others. Our staff will be composed of Christian administrators, teachers and support staff dedicated to teach and expose children to the Christian faith but without enforcing or indoctrinating them.
Balanced Foundation
Aside from developing communication, language and mathematical skills, our goal is to facilitate the development of personal and social skills and becoming independent learners and critical thinkers.
Support Parents
We believe that a child’s education starts in the home. Parents are their first teachers, and they have a key role in shaping their character and learning style. Our goal is to create a balanced education where both home and school mold a student’s learning.
Working together with parents in a child’s education will enable the growth and long-term success of both student and school.
Fully Functioning
We will provide a school based on academic excellence, with adequate classrooms carefully designed for learning, efficient teaching staff, and a safe environment in which to learn.
Ecological Values
We will include social, ecological and environmental education as we aim to operate in a sustainable and ecological way in our premises and procurement practices.
We desire to incorporate environmental awareness in our classrooms, throughout our school community, and with its stakeholders.
