Vale Verde International School
The school became a member of the European Council of International Schools ECIS and the Council of International Schools CIS. It is also an accredited University of Cambridge Examinations Centre, one of only five school centres in the Algarve.
In 2007 it received planning permission to build Portugal's first bilingual primary school which delivers some subjects in Portuguese.. The buildings were officially opened in August 2010 and are fully air conditioned. The bilingual concept took two years to devise and formed the basis of a Masters in International Education dissertation by its director, Louise De Beer.
VVIS also completed a purpose built theatre, which is used for the schools art, drama, and music lessons, in 2008, following the successful addition of a sports centre and an adaptable marque for open air productions and dining purposes.
