MISSION STATEMENT

American School of Porto, our mission is to bring a world-class American education to one of Europe’s most dynamic and welcoming cities. With passionate American teachers and a strong sense of American spirit, we offer a truly distinctive international experience rooted in academic excellence and personal growth.

We proudly welcome families of all nationalities, believing that diversity enriches our community. Through small class sizes and individualized learning, we foster critical thinking, creativity, and confidence—helping each student grow into a well-rounded individual prepared for the future.

As a city-based school, we embrace Porto’s cultural and athletic opportunities, partnering with local institutions to extend learning beyond the classroom. More than just a school, we are a warm, inclusive community where students, parents, and educators feel valued, supported, and proud to belong.

AT AMERICAN SCHOOL OF PORTO

we offer more than just academics—we provide a rich,
student-centered experience grounded in American values,
global inclusivity, and a strong sense of community.

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.
