How would you rate Santo António International School (SAIS)?
Great teachers and a community with a personal approach and close connection between children, teachers, and their parents. The premises are very basic but it is compensated by education.
Teachers are great, they are always very helpful. This boutique school meets our family expectations.
Although the school entitles its community as “ Sais family” , it does not have any knowledge of what a real family should be like: emails are never answered and communication channels do not exist. The only aim of this school now is to make money, loading students with unnecessary amount of subjects for exams carelessly of their needs! I am so very sorry for some great staff that they still have in their premises. They do not know how to retain the good teachers that pass by the school allowing for an endless rotation of teachers !
We have just started in this school. I would agree with some comments above - they are not very organised, but they are really nice people who are doing their best in terms of education. The school will disappoint you, if you are looking for a fancy campus. The benefits are: 1) close-knit community; 2) the classes are small, so your child will surely get a lot of attention from teachers. I think it’s a great school to smoothly transition to English speaking environment.
Combination of academic excellence with a caring family environment.
Definitely the worst out of all the international schools in Portugal The head teacher is not suited to work in a school Not a place to entrust children
Terrible school, disorganized, low teaching quality and material
The education is low and the quality of the teachers are bad. Not recommendable
Lovely small school. Great teachers.
Excellent school, teachers and location. Amazing sports program and extra curricular activities as well.
