Agrupamento Escolas de Campo Maior

The Secondary School has several types of education: regular elementary and secondary education; professional secondary courses; and two classes of alternative curricula, in order to prevent school drop out. Every year we have more students of gipsy origin and from immigrant families, especially from eastern countries. We can say with proud that they all are very well included. We also have students with special needs and some specialized teachers work with them and involve them in the regular classes as many times as they can.
