Lisbon is the wealthiest city in Portugal and education here has high standards. If you’re looking for an international school for your kids where they can share and learn about ethnic values but also adjust to European education, these are some of the best international schools in Lisbon!

 

The British School of Lisbon

Our school’s mission is to be ‘A World Leading School’, which means nothing less than having the highest standards in everything we do.

The British School of Lisbon is dedicated to the best of traditional educational values. We offer a stimulating and creative curriculum that combines a focus on numeracy and literacy alongside developing the whole child academically, socially, and personally.

At BSL, we take pride in knowing each and every one of our students. Our safe and stimulating environment encourages all our pupils to discover their strengths, to be curious, to take risks in their learning, and to challenge themselves. Our talented and highly motivated staff inspire the children to be the best that they can be. While high academic standards are important to us, we firmly believe a child’s happiness should come first. We celebrate behaviors that show enthusiasm for life, kindness to others, tolerance, and good manners.

Our vibrant extracurricular program nurtures confidence, creativity, and communication skills in our pupils through exposure to quality tuition in music, drama, sports, and the arts.

Aprendizes

Aprendizes was born in 2007. It began with being a school that would see the child holistically, from an individual, social, emotional, spiritual and academic perspective. The School was created with the objective of being a safe space where children can develop in a healthy way, relating to themselves, others and the environment.

This is a space where students can experience teaching excellence on a daily basis. An approach that encourages individuality and helps them to develop to their full potential in all key areas. From pre-school level to high school, we achieve all of this in new facilities opened in 2019, built from scratch to give physical and practical support to the way we see education.

International Preparatory School

The character and tone of the school are, of course, created from a variety of sources but one of the most important being that of the school’s major resource, the staff.
Our staff comes from diverse backgrounds, but all are extremely professional, motivated, and have the interests of the children at heart.

There are a number of specialist teachers to deliver supporting subjects such as Portuguese, Music, Physical Education, and Art to a high level. Children in need of extra support or extension have an opportunity to work alongside a dedicated team of support teachers for individual or small group learning. Similarly, children learning English for the first time are provided with focused lessons with a trained teacher in the field.

Professional development training is organized on a regular basis. IPS has collaborated with a variety of leading educational consultants in recent years to meet this requirement. Other opportunities both locally and internationally are also used to ensure that professional learning is ongoing.

St. Julian's School

Our purpose is to create a happy, secure, and stimulating learning environment within which all members of our community can achieve their full potential and develop a commitment to lifelong learning.

GET TO KNOW OUR STRATEGIC PLAN

Our new strategic plan was launched at the start of the 2019-20 academic year and shared with parents in the first of our newly launched Parent Tuesday Workshops. Life has obviously changed considerably since then, but we have continued to focus on continuing to learn and grow as a school to ensure that high-quality student learning is at the heart of everything that we do. I have been reflecting recently on the need to share our progress and re-engage our community with our vision and the strategic direction that we are following.

We believe that student learning should be the driver for all change, and the lens through which all decisions are made; this is mirrored in the three overarching pillars of the strategic plan: Organisation Learning, Resources for Learning, Teaching, and Learning.
