Necessary documents and insertion for an Italian girl

Hi Alessia, Welcome.

Public schools have programmes to welcome students of a native language other than Portuguese.

Insist on the public elementary schools in the municipality where you live. If you say which municipality, I can search which public schools are available there.

Hi, thanks for your reply, we are considering Albufeira, Portimao and Lagos

Public schools in these 3 municipalities:

Albufeira ( 1 school grouping )

Lagos ( 2 school groupings )

Portimão ( 5 school groupings )

Here you have to choose each blue tab "AE .....".

7 years = primary school, 1st cycle = EB1 school (= first 4 years of primary school)

A school grouping ( Agrupamento de escolas, AE) is an organisational unit of the Portuguese education system, endowed with its own administrative and management bodies, formed by pre-school establishments and one or more levels and cycles of education (basic education and secondary education), based on a common pedagogical project.

P.S. There is a teachers' strike going on this week, some schools are likely to be closed...
