Saba Verda is an international private school providing a complete English-language education for students from Early Years to Secondary School. We aim to teach skills, process and a passion for literature. Being a small school we have a "family-like" environment where older pupils mix with younger pupils. We always help each other with both practical tasks, planning and general support. We have ample space and many possibilities for outdoor activities. Our school day runs between 8.30am to 3pm.

| Teaching approach of the school |
Students learn concepts, theories and methods from a wide range of disciplines, deepening their understanding of the subject matter as they progress. Connecting themes and subjects allows them to apply concepts and solve problems. |
