HERE'S WHAT MAKES US DIFFEENT:

Authentically American
We are a true American school in Europe—with American-certified teachers, an American-style curriculum, and a dynamic school culture that values independence, exploration, and innovation.

Advanced Learning Opportunities
We offer Advanced Placement (AP) courses for Grades 11 & 12, giving students a head start on college-level academics and university readiness.

Personalized, Flexible Learning
Our students have choice in the courses they take, ensuring that their learning reflects their interests and goals—not a one-size-fits-all model. Classes are intentionally small, and students aren't always grouped in the same cohort, allowing for flexibility and differentiation.

Advisory and Whole-Person Growth
With regular Advisory Time, we focus on each student’s social-emotional development, goal setting, and well-being. Our weekly Whole Community Meetings bring students, staff, and families together to share, celebrate, and grow as one.

Clubs, Arts & Sports
Through our Focused Learning Block, students explore clubs, sports, creative arts, and other extracurriculars during the school day. Whether it’s a robotics team, drama, or athletics—we nurture talents and passions.

City Connections & Field Trips
As a city-based school, we take learning beyond the classroom with field trips and partnerships with local sports clubs and cultural institutions—making the most of what Porto has to offer.

A Community That Feels Like Home
We are proud to cultivate a warm, inclusive environment where families from around the world feel welcome. Our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) helps strengthen that sense of belonging by engaging parents in the life of the school.

Teachers Who Love Being Here
We invest in our educators, ensuring they feel supported and proud to be part of a professional, collaborative, and joyful school culture.
