Welcome to Lagoa campus

I am delighted that you are joining us – welcome to our Nobel Algarve family! Nobel Algarve British International School, Lagoa is a unique school with a very special ethos. It is our core aspiration that our students cultivate and explore their innate and developing interests and that they make a positive difference during their time with us, a difference to their own lives and the lives of others.

Our students and our outstanding staff are two of our most precious assets. Such is the calibre of our young people, from over 50 different nationalities, that we believe there is no limit to what they can achieve. Whilst we have high expectations and ambitions for our students, we know that for them to succeed, we need to provide a caring, supportive and challenging environment in which they can grow and flourish.

Education is about much more than academic success; it is about developing as a well-rounded learner, embracing opportunities, and learning how to deal with the various challenges that life inevitably brings. We celebrate a musical solo as warmly as we celebrate an A*/9, a wonderful painting as happily as an Oxbridge university place. We stress to all of our young people that what really matters is not just gaining qualifications for their own sake, but learning from them, which always means being open to personal growth, having a mindset that welcomes and tackles problems, and being resilient when times get tough. We strive to ensure that our students leave the Nobel Algarve community with values and a perspective on life that leads them to success in today’s rapidly evolving, competitive, global society.

Nobel Algarve Lagoa is an innovative and forward-thinking school. More importantly, it is a happy school with a great spirit and a sense that anything and everything is possible. Our prospectus provides you with a taster of the extraordinary number of opportunities here, both within our curriculum and beyond. Only by coming to visit us will you truly be able to grasp the positive and energetic learning community that we offer.

I look forward to welcoming you and showing you our school in action.
