According to etymology, the area of study dealing with the history and origin of words, a Pupil is an adopted child. The term Pupil, therefore, indicates an idea of someone who needs to be nurtured and requires care from someone to guide and/or teach them.

At Albergaria-A-Velha School Group we take this meaning very seriously, always trying to provide our students with all the means for their adjustment to society through knowledge and learning, as well as providing necessary guidance (vocational and otherwise), citizenship values, and personalised monitoring, among other aspects.
