    Agrupamento de Escolas Dr. Jorge Augusto Correia is a public school grouping that includes all school levels from pre-school to secondary school with approximately 1800 students and 150​​​​​​​ teachers.

    The school grouping has four different school buildings:  a pre-school and primary school, EB1/JI de Conceição, two primary schools, EB1 de Cabanas and EB Horta do Carmo, a pre-secondary school, Escola Dom Paio Peres Correia and a secondary school, Escola Dr. Jorge Augusto Correia.

    The students of this school grouping are not only from the city but also from rural areas as well as fishing areas.  About 6% of the students are from other countries. The school is open to all, children, teenagers, adults and children with special needs. It offers educational solutions for students that want to take a degree but also to specialize in some fields and for adults that haven’t finished their obligatory or secondary studies.

    The secondary school offers two kinds of formation: courses oriented to further university studies and professional courses oriented to the preparation to a profession and integration in the work market. The first are divided in four areas: sciences, arts, humanities and economics. The second are chosen from a national pre-defined list, according to the demand of the labour market.
