Bright Welcomes new families with its Open Day on 22 November

A year of remarkable growth

Bright International School – Algarve will hold its first Open Day of this Academic Year on Saturday, 22 November at 10:30am, inviting families from across the region to discover one of the Algarve’s most dynamic and fast-growing international schools.

Since joining the Sharing Education Group and rebranding in 2024, Bright has undergone a truly remarkable transformation. Once a small school, it has evolved into a forward-thinking educational hub that now welcomes over 150 students and continues to grow rapidly. This success story has been fuelled by substantial investment from the Group, reflecting a deep commitment to evolution, innovation and excellence in education.

Investment in world-class design and infrastructure

In the past year alone, Bright has entered a new phase of development, one that combines academic ambition with world-class design and infrastructure. The Group’s vision for the school extends far beyond expansion; it is about redefining what a modern learning environment can be. To achieve this, Bright has partnered with renowned Danish educational designer Rosan Bosch, celebrated for creating inspiring, functional and human-centred learning spaces that encourage curiosity, collaboration and creativity.

These design collaborations are not just about aesthetics. They embody an educational philosophy where every detail, from classroom layout to natural light and flow, contributes to how students engage with learning. The new Lower Secondary renovation project, for example, has transformed traditional classrooms into dynamic, flexible spaces that nurture teamwork, problem-solving and innovation. Every element of the design has been thoughtfully planned to align with the way students learn best, actively, creatively and collaboratively.

The school’s development is guided by some of the world’s leading educational consultants and thought leaders, who bring global experience in creating exceptional schools. This network of expertise ensures that Bright is not only keeping pace with international standards but setting new benchmarks in Portugal for quality, design and innovation.

Beyond architecture and design, significant investment has also gone into educational technology, teacher training and curriculum development. The aim has been to create a learning ecosystem where both students and teachers thrive. Classrooms are being equipped with modern tools that integrate seamlessly into everyday learning, supporting inquiry-based education and personalised learning pathways. Bright is cultivating an environment that encourages children to think independently, communicate confidently, and learn with joy.

A growing reputation across Portugal

This transformation has positioned Bright International School as one of the most talked-about educational projects in the Algarve and increasingly, in Portugal as a whole. Word of mouth has been powerful: families are hearing about Bright’s energy, its commitment to holistic education and its refreshing, contemporary approach to schooling.

The school’s success lies in its ability to balance academic excellence with personal development, ensuring that students grow not just in knowledge, but in character and confidence. Across the Algarve, more and more parents are seeking schools that recognise the individuality of each child, schools that see education as a journey of discovery rather than a race for grades. Bright has become a leader in this movement, offering an environment that nurtures both the mind and the imagination.

Discover Bright: Open Day on 22nd November

The upcoming Open Day on 22 November will provide an ideal opportunity for families to tour the campus, meet students, teachers and parents, and experience the energy and vision that define Bright International School. Visitors will see firsthand the innovative spaces that have been designed to transform the way children learn, as well as hear about the exciting projects still underway as the next phase of investment unfolds.

Bright’s evolution is only just beginning. With each new step, the school is reinforcing its position as a centre of educational excellence in Portugal. It stands as a model of what can be achieved when ambition, design and educational passion come together under one shared vision.

As Bright continues to grow, so too does its reputation. What started as a promising school in the Algarve is now being recognised as one of Portugal’s most exciting educational success stories: a school that dares to innovate, inspires its students and captures the imagination of families seeking something truly different.
