Our objective at AIS is to raise the standard of education in the Algarve with a balanced curriculum, from academic subjects to sports and the arts. Our focus is on educating the ‘whole child’ and we take the time to listen to suggestions for improvements.
Educate, Inspire & Encourage
At AIS the teachers want to get to know each student, to recognise and be fully aware of their strengths and weaknesses, likes and interests, in and outside of the classroom. Our responsibility is to educate, inspire and encourage each individual pupil to reach their potential.

Empowering Growth Through Learning
AIS Classes
AIS classes have a maximum of twelve children; this in itself is a massive advantage as it ensures individualised attention for every pupil. The rate of learning, the comprehensive coverage of the curriculum and most importantly the time given by our teachers to understand each student and their learning style is invaluable in the education process.
Pearson Edexcel
The school is accredited by Pearson Edexcel providing globally recognised qualifications - including iGCSEs and A Levels - which open doors to top universities worldwide.
Aspire Classes
We offer a preschool for children aged 3 – 5, a primary for ages 5 – 11 and a secondary school for ages 11 – 18. Our curriculum is based on the English national curriculum but is adapted to suit an international student-body.

My children took their A level exams as external candidates. Kathryn Germain was so incredibly nice and helpful to organise everything. It looks like a very sweet school with friendly students, in a relaxed location. It's a great place to take exams if you need to.
