 With the school's new not-for-profit mission and with a new oversight organization, through FEAL, AISL became a U.S. State Department-recognized school.After the creation of FEAL in 1995, the foundation's main priority was to centralize all of the schools of AISL onto one purpose-built site, as the secondary school, elementary school, and early child center were housed in different facilities spread across the Portuguese Riviera.In 1997, in cooperation with the municipal government of Sintra, a new purpose-built campus was built in Linhó, in the "freguesia" of São Pedro de Penaferrim, on land granted on a permanent lease by the municipality near the Quinta da Beloura.
