The history of the Montemor-o-Velho School Group is inseparable from the educational history of the municipality itself. With deep roots in local communities and the journeys of thousands of students, the Group is the result of a process of continuous evolution, joint growth, and commitment to quality public education.
A School with Purpose
In a time of constant change, the school emerges as an essential space for stability, growth, and the future. At the Montemor-o-Velho School Group, we believe that educating is more than teaching content: it is about forming free, conscious, and participatory citizens.
Over the years, we have affirmed a clear commitment to quality, inclusion, and the development of each student. We strive daily to build a school that listens, welcomes, and challenges – a school that aims to be demanding, humane, and connected to its community.
It is in this spirit that we share our Mission, Vision and Values: principles that guide our actions and reflect the identity of a Group that grows with the territory and the people who inhabit it.
