Sintra - School Report Question and Answers
Please describe any problem areas or challenges in social interaction at the school:
There seems to be, due to the name?, some expectation that this school has a more innate American culture than it actually does and most newcomers find this to be a surprise.The overall, predominant culture of both the administration and student body is Portuguese.This is not a problem so to speak, but an unexpected let-down for many.The school skews its demographics to appear to have more Americans in the school by counting students who have dual citizenship (a US Passport), but have not lived predominantly in the US nor are American in their cultural background or current social activities or family lifestyle. - Oct 2011
