Independent. International. Inspiring.
Located between Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago in the Algarve, Aspire International School offers a values-led education for students aged 3 to 18, with a focus on small class sizes and personalised learning.
We follow a broad and balanced British curriculum, enriched with sports, the arts, and real-world learning experiences.
With a maximum of 12 students per class, we ensure every child is seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive — both academically and personally.
At Aspire, we believe in educating the whole child, nurturing not just knowledge, but confidence, creativity, character, and wellbeing.
We are proud to be accredited by Pearson Edexcel, offering internationally recognised qualifications including iGCSEs and A Levels that open pathways to top universities worldwide.
