It is a groundbreaking move for international education in the Algarve and it is now official.
The International School of the Algarve in Lagoa and the International School of São Lourenço in Almancil have joined forces for a merger which, they say, will create more opportunities for students to take their A-levels in the Algarve.
“It is a victory for everyone,” Andreas Schelfhout, the chairman of the company that runs the Lagoa school, told the Algarve Resident, saying that many students who would normally go abroad to take A-level courses will now have a much wider variety of subjects to choose from, as a result of the shared human and material resources between the two schools.
For the full report on this merger, see the next edition of the Algarve Resident, out this Thursday.
