In Portugal, the Mediterranean climate prevails, being one of the hottest countries in Europe. Traditionally, Portugal has always had a strong connection with agricultural activity, however, nowadays, its economy is mainly based on the service and industrial sectors.

Our country is full of enchanting landscapes, with hospitable people and a varied and delicious cuisine!

Portugal has a fascinating history and, for this reason, we are motivated to expand our knowledge of our ancestors and relevant historical events. We loved analyzing the Portuguese flag and found out what its colors and the symbols it contains mean. We hear and sing our hymn.

We are committed to getting to know our country better and to contribute to making it more sustainable, as well as the entire Planet!...

Our school, which served as a primary school until 1997, started to provide education as Sakarya Primary School in 1997, when primary education was increased to 8 years, and in 2012, it served as Sakarya Primary School within the scope of the 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 Education Program.

The land where our school is located was located within the Nusratiye Neighborhood until 1973, and with the decision of the Provincial General Assembly and the municipal council, it was separated from the Nusratiye Neighborhood and the Siteler Muhtarlığı was established. As the area expanded over time, with the decision of the Provincial General Assembly dated 03.04.1978, it was divided into five neighborhoods: Siteler, Gündoğdu, Yeni Pazar, Çilek and Çay Neighborhoods.

Our school was built on a 4940 square meter land in Gündoğdu Neighborhood and its ownership belongs to the Special Provincial Administration. Our school, which consists of three blocks of reinforced concrete buildings, provides dual education.
