Vale Verde International School to provide the community with a balanced, quality education of an international character, initially through the medium of English and Portuguese, and from year 7 predominantly through the medium of English, based upon sound values and high expectations in all fields.
It is our aim to prepare young people in the Western Algarve to take their full place in society. This will involve their developing academic, social, physical and interpersonal skills as well as a sense of personal responsibility for themselves and those with whom they interact, the ability to discern right from wrong, true from false, valuable from worthless, beneficial from malign, selflessness from selfishness, the transcendental from the mundane, the essential from the dispensable, excellence from mediocrity and the strength of character to act upon these value judgements.
It is among our aims to encourage all students in their endeavours to realise their fullest potential – academically, socially, practically and physically.   It is among our aims to develop aesthetic awareness and creative ability.
