Nobel International School Algarve was founded in 1972 by a group of local residents led by Eva and Paul Schelfhout. The school offers teaching at all levels, from Preschool through to Secondary. The school offers both a National Section (following the official Portuguese Ministry of Education programmes) and an International Section (following a modified English National Curriculum). Strategically located in the centre of the Algarve region between Porches and Lagoa, the Nobel International School Algarve site occupies an area of more than 90,000 square metres. Its integrated school transport network allows the school to serve most of the Algarve. The school community originates from more than 30 different nationalities, resulting in a truly international atmosphere. Portuguese as a foreign language, Information Technology, Physical Education and Music are taught by specialists to all students in every year from pre-school and developed in the years that follow. These subjects are an integral part of what the school offers for all ages. As well as diverse study visits, the school also organises sports activities with other schools around Portugal and exchanges with schools internationally. Nobel International School Algarve follows the Northern Hemisphere school calendar, with the school year beginning in September and ending in June of the following year. We want our pupils to succeed in education and to achieve everything they are capable of achieving. They come from all over the world and their eventual dispersal will be equally far-reaching. We are confident they will always carry with them the benefits of having been part of our supportive and international community.
