The Algarve's New Home of Education
AIS is an official Edexcel centre
offering the complete series of academic qualifications

including iGCSEs and A Levels.
The pandemic has been the biggest disruptive event in our childrens' lives. Indeed, we have all been affected if not infected. Clearly it has been a challenging time for schools with intermittent virtual learning and sometimes overwhelming restrictions. We are now well into our second year of dealing with Covid 19 and the everchanging regulations that transpire. As a school we keep up to date with all regulations issued by the General Directorate of Health (DGS) in Portugal and adhere to all regulations. Measures at AIS are still in place to sanitise hands regularly with dispensers in every classroom. Masks must be worn in the classroom by all students aged over ten years. For those under ten years of age it is not mandatory. Sensible social distancing is recommended whilst in the play areas even when outside. As a micro-school with very small class sizes we are in a good position. Even though it seems that symptoms are now much milder the Algarve International School follows governmental decisions and takes any potential spread of the virus very seriously. If your child/children tests positive for Covid we ask that you notify the school office immediately.AIS students who have tested positive are required to spend seven days at home before returning to school. A negative test will be required in order for your child to return back to school. With continued communication and collaboration the AIS team will do their utmost to keep students safe and restrict the spread of any outbreak.
AIS was born out of the coming together of three colleagues with respect and admiration for one another, to build a project for the education and well-being of children.
