Clip – Colégio Luso Internacional do Porto (Oporto International School) In the new building in Foz

In the newspapers in 1987 we could read:
There is a new School in Porto that plans to assign two academic degrees - a lack in Portugal: the International Bacheloreat and the International Certificate of Education. The College is operating since the beginning of the school year that will end now.
At present, the College Luso International Port (North) is installed temporarily in Quinta do Mirante which is located in Largo Megide Canelas, Vila de Gaia at Quinta do Mirante. The final installation of the College is planned to be in a property that formerly hosted CIMPOR located on the promenade of the Porto – Douro river, more precisely in the angle formed by Dom Pedro V Street and Restauração.
Final negotiations are underway for the purchase of the property, which is degraded. Is expected to recover and adapt the old building to the needs of the College.
The didactic project of the College done by Artur Victoria indicates the full teaching at all levels of education, since primary to secondary school and eventually, in a middle term future to its own University.
The school program for an Worldwide equivalent studies degree is established by the Association Bacheloreat - an international organization created 15 years ago in Geneva, Switzerland, to establish an educational curriculum that avoids the problem of equivalence between countries in education, from primary to university placement.
Thus, schools that teach the curriculum of the Association Bacheloreat is mainly children and young people, children, technicians, businessmen and migrants, who are regularly transferred country to country by its professional commitments. Moreover, these schools are also frequented by students, which desire or intend to join foreign colleges.
The degree Bacheloreat International that the International College of the North award represents our 12th year, allowing access to the University. and is recognized by the Ministry of Education and Culture Portuguese since January 86.
For the other degree that the College will assign - International Certificate of Education - equate it to our 9 th year, but has not yet been established by the Association Bacheloreat, which should happen before the school year 88/89.

Pupil's Achievements at School

Each mark is a summary of the pupil's achievements in a particular subject or group of subjects. In this respect the teacher should be guided by the scope and emphasis allotted by the syllabi to the various teaching items. Shortcomings in a field of minor importance should not entail the follow-up activities incumbent on school same reduction of a mark as would be prompted by more critical deficiencies. Marks for certain subjects in which written examinations are set should not be made wholly dependent on the results of those examinations. All achievements must be included in the assessment, and the teacher must avoid attaching too much value to results which are particularly amenable to assessment. Furthermore, marks must be based on observations and notes throughout the senior level grades and not only on impressions gained towards the end of this period. Even during years for which marks are not awarded, teachers must keep notes concerning the pupils' work as a form of documentation on which to base interviews with the pupils and their parents.
Pupils do not cease to be the responsibility of schools as soon as their compulsory schooling is ended. The school must provide follow-up educational vocational orientation to support young persons who are under 18 and who are neither studying nor working. Educational and vocational orientation must be conducted with the aim of providing these young persons with the opportunity of employment, vocational practice, training or education.
The comprehensive responsibility for following up the progress of school-leavers continues until they reach the age of 18. Thus if young person's terminate their employment before reaching this age, it becomes the duty of the school to resume follow-up educational and vocational orientation as soon as they terminate their employment.
