Founded in 1972 in Lagoa, central Algarve, Nobel Algarve British International School has long been regarded as Southern Portugal’s premier international school. The school joined Globeducate in 2019 – one of the world’s leading K12 education groups with 60+ premium bilingual and international schools, and online programmes, in 12 countries, educating more than 40,000 students. The Globeducate vision is to prepare each student to become a global citizen who can shape the world.
Currently comprising two campuses in the Algarve: the flagship school in Lagoa, and the new state-of-the-art campus in Almancil. Together the campuses educate more than 1,400 students from more than 40 nationalities, aged three to 18. Students in the international section follow either a contextualised version of the National Curriculum for England, sitting IGCSEs and A-levels. Lagoa also offers the Portuguese Ministry of Education programme, with the vast majority of students going on to enrol in some of the world’s leading higher-education institutions.
Both schools use globally-recognised assessment practices, and students achieve qualifications aligned with global standards of excellence. Demand is high across all curricula, and we maintain the standards of a Globeducate British International School (GBIS) education, regardless of which curriculum students choose. We are proud to provide an education that transcends traditional academics and encourages a deeper understanding of the world.
A GBIS School
Being a member of Globeducate’s British International Schools cluster affords opportunities for students and teachers to collaborate with others on projects such as LEGO® Education and through partnerships with WWF (World Wildlife Fund) and Eco-Schools, and a recent partnership with Arts International, a performing arts project. Students also take part in regular global events and competitions with other schools in the international group.
21st-century learning for a better future
Both campuses – Lagoa and Almancil – have recently unveiled ambitious expansion plans, an impressive project branded ‘Nobel Algarve – Shaping the Future’ to be developed in three different phases. Nobel Algarve Lagoa and Almancil will be equipped with new buildings and new classrooms with state-of-the-art features such as a next-generation Science Lab, ICT suites and multimedia centre in Almancil, and a new multi-purpose gymnasium/performance space, a bespoke pre-school and a brand-new canteen in Lagoa.
At Nobel Algarve British International School learning goes beyond the classroom – we offer a rich activities programme and an outdoor learning programme called the Journey, which promotes environmental awareness and equips pupils to face challenges confidently, building character so they manage failure with tenacity and resilience.
