Portuguese and international pathways in the Algarve

Vilamoura International School offers both Portuguese and international educational pathways for ages 3 to 18. The international route begins with an adapted British primary curriculum, continues through Cambridge secondary qualifications and leads to the IB Diploma.

The two routes give families different questions to resolve about language and later qualifications. Discuss where they diverge, whether a transfer between them is possible and which subjects are available for older students. Read the fee schedule for the chosen route and age group, then confirm admissions requirements for the intended start date.
