American School of Porto aims to create a warm, inclusive, and academically excellent environment where students thrive personally and intellectually.
We empower globally minded students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally through an authentic American education grounded in excellence, inclusion, and whole-person growth. Our vision is to be Porto’s leading American international school — a place where students feel understood, challenged, and prepared to lead meaningful lives at university and beyond.
Authentic American Curriculum
Our academic program follows U.S. standards and is led by experienced, American-certified educators. Students benefit from a curriculum that supports deep learning, cross-disciplinary thinking, and creativity.
Advanced Learning Opportunities
Our high school program includes Advanced Placement (AP) courses and other university-preparatory experiences designed to challenge and inspire. We guide students toward the academic pathways that align with their strengths and post-secondary goals — whether in the U.S., UK, Europe, or beyond.
Social Emotional Learning
Awareness, empathy, connection, resilience. We embed SEL into the fabric of school life from classroom practices to advisory structures. Through intentional programs, students develop awareness, resilience, and empathy, while building strong relationships with peers and mentors.
Whole-Person Growth
Every student at ASP is seen as a whole person. We offer mentoring, community-building experiences, and daily structures that support self-confidence, identity formation, and a growth mindset.
Enrichment Programs
Clubs, visual and performing arts, sports, and off-campus experiences are integrated into the ASP day. We believe that creativity, movement, and exploration enrich the academic journey and student wellbeing.
Community & Belonging
Strong PTA and inclusive school culture. We are building a vibrant, inclusive school culture where students, families, and staff feel deeply connected. Our PTA will play an active role in shaping the school community, alongside student leadership and co-curricular life.
As founders of YOURWAY Education, we’ve spent nearly two decades helping students access exceptional secondary schools around the world. We’ve walked the campuses of top U.S. boarding schools, seen what works and asked ourselves why it doesn’t exist closer to home.
As parents living in Portugal, we saw a gap: a school that combines American academic quality with a supportive, international-minded environment. A place where students are not just prepared for university, but prepared to lead, connect, and contribute.
That’s the American School of Porto.
We are now accepting enquiries and applications for our founding cohort. If you’re exploring international education in Portugal and want your child to grow in a school that values rigour, wellbeing, and belonging — we’d love to hear from you.
