INTERNATIONAL SECTION - ENGLISH VERSION
Dear Parents
The International School of the Algarve has been working in the field of education since 1972 and has
already acquired a considerable reputation for quality teaching.
The International School of the Algarve was established in 1972 by a group of local residents led by Paul and
Eva Schelfhout to provide an education for the growing Portuguese and International community in the
Algarve.
The School, fully co-educational, is aproximately 600 students strong - boys and girls (ages 3 to 18).
The School is situated in Lagoa, on the Main East-West coastal road (EN125) and is served by 9 private
charter coaches from: Budens, Lagos, Silves, Messines, Albufeira, Boliqueime, Vilamoura, Loulé and Faro.
The International airport at Faro is approximately 40 minutes from the School.

The Northern Hemisphere school calendar is followed: the School Year beginning in September and ending
in June of the following year. We operate a 3 term year.
There are two sections: the International Section, Pre-Reception to Year 13 (ages 3 to 18) where students
work towards UK GCSEs and A Levels and the National Section (ages 6 to 18) where students work towards
Portuguese National Qualifications.
In the International Section the early years are organised to deliver a bi-lingual curriculum
(English/Portuguese). Thereafter a modified English National Curriculum is taught. The National Section
follows the Portuguese National Curriculum.
The majority of our pupils (98,8%) go to university
in Portugal or the UK, some gain places in the
USA or Canada as well as in a variety of other EU
countries.

Class Sizes - EFL - Buddy-Buddy - Work Experience
Class Sizes: In order to provide high quality education, regarding each student as a unique individual, we
actively seek to have an average class size of 16. For A-level classes it is our commitment for optimum
academic achievement we have an average class size of 6.
EFL: Within the school there is a wide diversity of cultures, languages and educational experience,
therefore, the school has an English as a foreign language department staffed with highly qualified
specialist teachers. These teachers provide aditional support, liaising closely with subject specialists to offer
differentiated materials and essential one to one inductions to English.
Buddy-Buddy: All pupils that arrive new to the school will be partnered with a class mate of the same sex.
This is to facilitate his/her integration into the school.
Work Experience: As part of our ongoing ‘’Careers Programme’’, each year all Year 10 students (14/15) are
given the opportunity to be in a ‘’working environment’’ outside of school during ‘work experience week’.
The aims of the week are for students to have the opportunity to sample a job area, industry or profession
and to experience the ‘working environment’.
