What are the schools in Portugal like?
When we asked about the schools in Portugal, they said...
"We wanted a big enough school to give good opportunities for subject choices and team sports. We have been very please so far and the kids look forward to going to school every day," commented one expat when asked about International School of the Algarve in Porches.
"Look into other schools instead: Nobel and Aljezur are the only other international schools within a 30 minute radius. However, if you are British and looking to feel like you are still in Britain and not Portugal, you may enjoy the school as it is 85% British. The school lacks diversity and there is no integration with the local community or country in general. The teachers are largely not inspiring with some exceptions. The school is strict about the uniform. The school has terrible communication with parents," explained one expat in Burgau, Portugal with kids at Vale verde international.
