A Welcome from the Head of School

Having spent nearly 30 years working in International Schools in Copenhagen, Spain, the US, and the Caribbean, and latterly Mauritius, I have now come full circle and return to Portugal, a place where I spent five years back in the 1970s, and it feels like I am coming home.  

Nobel Algarve is a fast-growing school with over 400 students from all over the world. A relatively new school with incredible facilities and room for growth, I am delighted to be part of an incredible team of educators who share the same vision. The school is fortunate to have a staff that is committed to providing the best education and one that fosters a genuine love of learning.

The make-up of the staff is truly international, and we come with experience and more importantly, a desire to grow, individually and collectively.   

This year will see our current Year 11 cohort completing their IGCSE examinations, and in September, the same group will be able to choose a pathway suited to their style of learning. Students going into Year 12 will be able to follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP), or they can follow a BTEC International Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport (equivalent to three A-Levels).  

While the school follows a rigorous academic programme, at Nobel, we aim to nurture young minds to be inquisitive, caring, and reflective individuals who want to make a positive impact in the ever-changing world we live in, and, in line with the vision of Globeducate, we seek to lay the foundations for a better future. The foundation is the pupils we work with.  

We welcome you to be part of that journey, so please come in and visit the future.
