Colégio Nun'Álvares de Tomar, Private educational institution in Tomar, Portugal.
Colégio Nun'Álvares de Tomar is a private school in Tomar located in an urban residential area near the Municipal Library and sports facilities. The building served as an institution with separate sections for male and female students, maintaining rigorous academic standards.
Founded in 1932, the school initially operated with separate schools for boys and girls. In 1975, the two sections merged as educational policies shifted toward integrated schooling.
The school published a magazine called CNA starting in 1959, which brought teachers and students together through articles on art, science, and literature. This publication reflected the intellectual and creative diversity that shaped school life.
The building sits in a central residential area and is easy to reach, being near other public services like the Municipal Library. Visitors should know that parts of the original structure are now used by other schools, which may limit access.
The original building of the former boys section now houses EB 2,3 D. Nuno Álvares Pereira primary school. The site thus continues serving educational purposes, though its function has shifted significantly.
