Barlavento International Primary School, near Lagos in the Western Algarve, was founded in 1975 and is renowned for its caring family atmosphere and small friendly classes – each with a maximum of 17 pupils.
The school also has a reputation for excellent academic results. Lessons are taught in English, except for the daily Portuguese classes, and follow the framework of the English National Curriculum.
The school caters for children from four to 11 years of age and is truly international: current and former pupils are from England, Ireland, Holland, Portugal, Brazil and France amongst others.
Barlavento School is set in easily accessible countryside. Facilities include a large gym, sports field, library and two playgrounds.
If you want your child to have a first rate education in a caring environment, the Barlavento School is an ideal choice. In fact, Lauren Haggerty, who now works for British Airways, is a former pupil and believes that all children deserve the wonderful ‘Barlavento Experience’.
