Portuguese term or phrase: Escola Superior Artística do Porto
Escola Superior Artística do Porto, (Portugal)

I think it is Porto School of Art or College of Art
(It is not part of a university, it is part of the institution "Cooperativa de Ensino Superior Artístico do Porto (CESAP), a non-profit, public institution.)

(PS it is not superior school or higher school :P)

Asker: I did see that, but I don't know what the rule is about translating the names of institutions. (Yes, that site looks like it was Google translated, not very good.)
