FOZ sits on a 10-hectare nature reserve, 45 kilometers from Lisbon, offering a fully natural educational setting. The bilingual, inquiry-based approach is central to FOZ's program. The school offers Early Years (ages 3-6), Primary (ages 6-12), and Middle School (ages 12-14). The environment emphasizes creativity, well-being, and connection to nature.
Early Years is an inquiry-based, individualized program built on joy, play and a deep connection to nature. Primary uses project-based learning and constructivist math to support meaningful learning and to develop critical thinking and collaboration across the curriculum. Middle School is anchored in a supportive socio-emotional curriculum and centers on independent student-led projects, enabling observation, inquiry, and deep discussion while developing critical life skills.
Outdoor activities and direct engagement with nature are integral to FOZ's program, offering opportunities beyond the classroom for well-being and self-expression.
