RWIS Palma uses the Cambridge International Pathway as its core framework, built around the Cambridge International Curriculum. It provides education from age 5 to 18 across four stages: Cambridge Primary (5–11), Cambridge Lower Secondary (11–14), Cambridge Upper Secondary (14–16), and Cambridge Advanced (16–19). The RWIS Curriculum blends the Cambridge framework with RWIS's cycle of inquiry, with each year level engaging students in six points of inquiry to develop critical thinking, problem-solving and collaboration. Cambridge qualifications are globally recognised and enable progression to universities worldwide. Assessments follow Cambridge's mastery-based approach to education.

Cambridge International qualifications are recognised by universities worldwide, including all UK universities and more than 800 US universities, including the Ivy League, with recognition by more than 2,000 international universities overall.

RWIS Palma uses a holistic approach to student growth, balancing social, emotional, physical, and academic development. Class Connect sessions every morning help students connect with peers and teachers and build character traits such as curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability, leadership, and social awareness. The school uses a restorative justice model to guide student well-being, prioritising repairing harm and restoring relationships. A dedicated School Well-Being Team oversees a wellbeing framework that is integrated across year levels, with regular assessments and activities to strengthen emotional and social skills. Restorative Justice and Positive Discipline support student ownership and learning from mistakes. Weekly Community Time fosters community through assemblies, buddy activities, guest workshops, and service projects.

Learning support for diverse learners is provided through a Learning Support Leader who works with the Student Life Coordinator, the School Counsellor, and teachers to meet diagnosed needs. The role conducts diagnostic assessments, designs targeted interventions, and maintains progress records, while guiding teachers in differentiated strategies and coordinating with families. Staff receive training and resources on learning support to ensure inclusive practice across the curriculum. Safeguarding and wellbeing are central to supporting students with additional needs within a whole-school approach.

Mental wellbeing is embedded in RWIS Palma's Wellbeing and Character Development programme, including Class Connect sessions and a School Well-Being Team that integrates wellbeing across all year levels. A restorative justice practice guides behavior and relationships, prioritising learning from mistakes and maintaining a respectful school climate. The wellbeing framework includes regular assessments and activities to strengthen students' emotional and social skills. Community Time on Fridays adds structure for relationship-building, assemblies, buddy activities, guest workshops, and service and experiential learning, all contributing to a supportive environment for mental wellbeing.

Safeguarding is a priority at RWIS Palma. The school has safeguarding systems and policies to protect students, including clear procedures for reporting concerns, regular staff safeguarding training, comprehensive background checks for staff and volunteers, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of safeguarding practices to ensure effectiveness.
