BOOKS AND STATIONERY

Escola Internacional da Madeira supplies all English and Mathematics textbooks to the Primary levels. Parents are required to provide stationery, workbooks, and Portuguese textbooks. A list of requirements for each level for the following academic year will be provided after payment of the annual registration fee.

THE PROGRESS / GRADING SYSTEM

The system used to report progress for pupils in the Primary classes is on a percentage (%) scale. To pass into a higher class at the end of the academic year pupils have to achieve at least 50%.

There are three terms in the academic year and at the end of each term a report is issued. Primary 3 and 4 pupils maintaining an average below 50% will receive academic warning at the end of the first two terms.

Term One starts in September and ends with the Christmas holidays.

Term Two starts in January and ends with the Easter holidays.

Term Three starts after the Easter holidays and ends at the end of June with the summer holidays.

The International Boutique Crèche, the Nursery and Pre-school are always open except during the month of August and Portuguese public holidays.

Nursery and Pre-school pupils will receive reports focused on their physical, perceptual and intellectual development in relation to their age at the end of each term.
