About us.
Established in Madeira, Portugal, in September 1980, marking the start of the Sharing Education journey.
International Sharing School Lisbon
Originally a Portuguese school with around 100 students, the rebranded International Sharing School Lisbon joined the Sharing Education Group in 2018. The school is currently operating close to full capacity, serving over 600 students.
A significant expansion is underway, including new academic buildings, sports facilities, and a boarding offering, which will increase capacity to approximately 1,500 students and support the next phase of growth.
The International Sharing School Lisbon was developed and operated by Sharing Education I and is not an investment of Green One Capital. It is included solely for the purpose of illustrating the track record and experience of the Sharing Education Group as a project partner.
International Sharing School Madeira
The International Sharing School Madeira was the first to join the Sharing Education Group and holds particular significance as the school attended by the founding family. Originally a small school of around 40 students, including members of the Ladeira Santos family, it has grown to serve a community of approximately 300 students today.
A new, state-of-the-art campus was completed in 2026, incorporating the restoration of a historic building and supporting an increase in capacity to around 500 students.
Bright International School Algarve
Located on the south coast of Portugal, within the Algarve’s Golden Triangle and surrounded by affluent areas, Bright International School joined the Sharing Education Group in 2023. The school, which at that time served a community of 70 students, today serves a community of approximately 200 students.
Ongoing development includes the renovation and refurbishment of additional facilities and sports facilities, supporting a planned increase in capacity to around 500 students.
