This bilingual private school in Lisbon takes a child from the nursery group to the third cycle and keeps an upper secondary stage. Lessons run in two languages: from the nursery group to Year 2 the school teaches in English and Portuguese, in Years 3 to 4 it adds German, and from Year 5 French, so that by the middle years four languages stand in the timetable. The school speaks of almost 20 years of work without naming its opening year. Its academic lines are Cambridge International, with Cambridge Primary and Checkpoint assessments, and English certification with Trinity College London. Tuition for the school year comes to between 6900 and 6908 euros depending on the stage: 575 euros a month over 12 instalments in the nursery group, daycare and kindergarten, and 628 euros over 11 instalments from the first to the third cycle. Meals are charged separately: 132 euros a month in the nursery group and 157 euros at the other stages, special diets cost more, and a single lunch costs 14.10 euros. The psychology service works with families from the nursery group to upper secondary on weekdays from 9:00 to 17:00. Enrolment runs all year round as places allow.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: Primary (ages 5-11). Primary is the primary stage, ages 5 to 11: English, mathematics and science to Cambridge syllabuses. At the end of the stage a school may run the optional Checkpoint test, which is marked in Cambridge.

The psychology service works with children and families from the nursery group to upper secondary: settling into school, socio-emotional wellbeing and choosing a path after school; it works on weekdays from 9:00 to 17:00. Paediatric care is handled by a clinic in Campo Grande, and emergencies by the city hospital or private hospitals as parents prefer.
Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
