School Profile
Escola Livre do Algarve, welcomes all parents and pupils of all nationalities to our Portuguese Waldorf Primary School. We currently employ three Waldorf trained teachers, plus two language teachers, for 20 Pupils. All our teachers are fluent in Portuguese, English and three of our teachers are fluent in German.
One of the key principles of our school is to provide an education which understands the complexity of a child's development and aligns the teaching methodology accordingly to the child's needs.
At primary school age, our teachers engage the feelings of the child, so that a strong personal identification with the teacher is made, which then enables the confidence of the child to grow and actively follow the guidance of the teacher in the classroom.
In the classroom the use of the child's imagination is a key element in their learning process and pictorial imagery is a vital factor in making learning a personal, inner experience. Art, rhythm, movement and music also play an important role in engaging the child's feelings, creating a deeper sense of understanding. Other factors which are important are the changing seasons, the development of both the child's mental capacity and their physical growth. Our teachers are specially trained to recognise these changes and support the child, and also the parents, through these periods of change.
Workshops are available for parents introducing Rudolf Steiner philosophies - these courses are presented in interesting, practical and imaginative ways, often utilising eurhythmy and craft activities.
Parental involvement in the school is actively encouraged allowing the school to continually improve its facilities and flourish, whilst maintaining affordable school fees. School fees Range from a minimum 250 euros x 12mths to 500 euros x 12mths, depending on parents income. The school is run by a non-profit Association.
The administration staff, all speak Portuguese and English. Our curriculum in available in Portuguese and English - please email us on the contact form for a copy.
