About Us
About Aspire International School Algarve
Independent. International. Inspiring.
Located in the heart of the Algarve between Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago, Aspire International School provides a warm, inclusive environment for students aged 3 to 18. We offer a values-led, British-based education with a strong emphasis on small class sizes, personal development, and real-world learning.
A Personalised Approach
With a maximum of 12 students per class, our teachers are able to offer truly individual attention. Every child is known, supported, and encouraged to thrive — not just academically, but as confident, creative and resilient individuals.
Our curriculum is broad and balanced, combining core academic subjects with a rich programme of sports, creative arts, and outdoor learning. We believe in nurturing the whole child — mind, body and character.
Connected Learning with Tapestry
In our Early Years and Primary classes, we use the Tapestry learning journal platform to keep parents informed and engaged. Families can access weekly updates, photos, and observations that track each child’s progress and celebrate their achievements in real time.
Internationally Recognised Qualifications
Aspire is a fully accredited Pearson Edexcel centre, offering a pathway to iGCSEs and A Levels. These globally recognised qualifications open doors to leading universities and future careers around the world.
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
