◎ Worth noting
Not a conventional school — a tutorial college for ages 14–18 offering only IGCSE and A Level; no school lunch, no school bus and no sports or after-school programme
The annual fee is only part of the cost: €2,400 registration (then €1,200 re-registration each year), €1,845 supplements for some A Level subjects, €2,300 per science for practicals, and exam fees are all extra
English (IELTS) tuition costs €6,460 a year for students who need it
International students under 18 must have a guardian — arranged and paid for separately
Greene's College Oxford is a British tutorial college founded in Oxford in 1967 by Edward Greene. It brought its Oxford tutorial method to Estoril in 2015, and has since opened a second Portuguese centre in Príncipe Real, Lisbon (October 2023), as well as a centre in the Algarve.
Instead of classes, students learn in tutorials — one-to-one or in small groups of two or three — with a Personal Tutor who meets them every week. Full-time students take International GCSEs (ages 14–16) or three A Levels (16–18); the college also offers A Level retakes, a Foundation Year, vocational diplomas, online sixth form and part-time tuition.
