In an emotional welcome ceremony, the teaching staff, families, and students of Rafa Nadal School resumed the academic year by receiving the ninth class of students. Rafa Nadal himself was present to welcome the families and offer them a heartfelt message:

“For us it is a very important day because we welcome our students with whom we are very excited to start this stage together. First of all, I would like to thank the parents for the trust they have placed in us. From the very first moment we are going to give our best to live up to your expectations”, said Rafa.

“Some of you are new students, others already know us, but for us you are all special. We are eager to see you at school, learning and having fun. We are certain this will be an unforgettable experience, and our goal is to help you create memories that will always stay with you. I hope you are very happy with everything you experience here,” concluded the champion of 22 Grand Slam titles.

Over the years, the prestige of this American international school has been consolidated thanks to its impressive facilities, located at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar, but above all thanks to the quality of its teaching staff and its ability to guide students toward studying and earning scholarships at the universities of their choice. Max Basing (Stanford), Pedro Vives (TCU), and Violeta Martinez (University of Illinois) are some examples of students who achieved their dreams, choosing their destination for academic or athletic reasons. Others, however, have decided to continue their studies in Spain. Most importantly, all of them are already building their future by “giving themselves opportunities” every day to become not only great professionals but also great people.

Rafa Nadal School has also established itself as an educational benchmark in the Balearic Islands, being the only accredited center authorized to host the SAT exams, the most internationally recognized standardized test for admission to U.S. universities. This not only reinforces the institution’s academic prestige but also opens a unique opportunity in the region for local and international students to take the exam without having to travel to mainland Spain or abroad.
