Why Choose Us?

A trusted partner for international education

Since 1998, UP Global has provided young people with carefully planned and safe international experiences built on genuine care, transparency, and personal support for every student and family.

At UP Portugal, our focus is on high-quality campus-based programs in North America, where students study, play and live in structured and supportive international environments.

With local support in Portugal and the strength of an experienced international organization, we support both students and families throughout the entire journey, from the first planning steps to returning home.

Pathway to university

Boarding schools are designed to prepare students for future university success. Schools actively support students in achieving strong academic results and continuing to respected universities.

Studying in an English-speaking environment helps students develop strong language skills, while daily training and structured schedules support athletic development, making students well prepared for both academic and sports opportunities after graduation.

WHY CHOOSE US?

Choosing to study abroad is an important step, and having the right support makes all the difference.

With nearly 30 years of experience, we help students and
families navigate every step of the journey with confidence
and personal support.
