Educational Project

The educational project of Astoria International School provides comprehensive learning from Nursery, Kindergarten, Primary School, to Lower and Upper Secondary School, inspired by three foundational concepts: LEARNING TO BE, LEARNING TO DO, and LEARNING TO INNOVATE. This educational model ensures that each child develops essential skills for academic and personal success.

During their educational journey at Astoria International School, children and young people have the opportunity to promote their personal development through various pedagogical areas and school dynamics.

This development includes critical thinking, autonomy, creativity, and emotional intelligence. In the academic realm, students enhance their linguistic, logical-mathematical, geographical, historical, cultural, artistic, and sporting skills.

With a student-centred approach, Astoria International School utilises innovative methodologies and advanced technologies to ensure excellent education.

Our commitment to educational quality is reflected in national assessments by IAVE and the Order of Psychologists, as well as international certifications from Cambridge and Trinity.

Learning to Be

Taking into account the uniqueness of each child and young person, Astoria International School promotes the development of socio-emotional skills, aiming for positive and beneficial interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships.

This focus on emotional development is fundamental for students to build a solid foundation of self-confidence and empathy, preparing them for future challenges in both personal and academic realms.

Learning to Do

Astoria International School prioritises the learning of concepts and the implementation of behavioural actions, essential for each child and young person to develop an attitude of understanding others.

This approach adheres to fundamental values such as solidarity, tolerance, mutual support, freedom, and friendship, teaching students to manage and resolve conflicts effectively.

Through this approach, we ensure that our students not only acquire academic knowledge but also practical and social skills essential for their holistic development.

Learning to Innovate

At Astoria International School, we encourage each student to understand the world around them, developing a questioning attitude and a deeper understanding of knowledge.

Through activities such as playing, gaming, recreating games, researching, questioning, finding answers, and investigating, we promote innovation and intellectual curiosity.

This focus allows students to become critical thinkers and problem-solvers, ready to face future challenges with creativity and confidence.

Advantages of Multilingual Education

Astoria International School offers an educational system that favours language learning from Nursery, Kindergarten, and Primary School, through a bilingual English-Portuguese curriculum. From Year 3 of Primary School, the German language is introduced, and in Lower Secondary School, the French language.

Multilingual education and the development of language skills promote metalinguistic awareness, brain plasticity, and creativity.

Additionally, this system enhances the development of intercultural awareness and serves as a key differentiating factor in students’ future professional lives.

Multilingual education prepares students for a globalised world, where the ability to communicate in multiple languages is a significant competitive advantage.
