It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
IPS Cascais welcomes children from all over the world and is currently enrolling, accepting applications throughout the school year. IPS Cascais offers the National Curriculum for England to primary and secondary-aged students and is a proud member of Globeducate. The admissions process comprises six steps: express your interest; visit the school or schedule a meeting; submit the Registration Form and send previous school reports; pupil sits an entry task; confirmation of place; pay charges to secure the pupil's seat. Places are mainly awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on availability. Priority is given to siblings of current students; children whose first language is not Portuguese or who have had the majority of their education in English; first-language English speakers; and families from organisations with whom IPS has long-standing protocols. A new Secondary School opens in September 2026; it will move to a new campus with specialist facilities near the current site and will deliver an educational programme from Years 7 to 13, preparing pupils for universities worldwide.
IPS Cascais British International School sits in Bicesse, north of Cascais, Portugal, serving learners from age 3 to 18. It delivers the National Curriculum for England, adapted for an international context, with Cambridge IGCSE studies in Years 10–11 and a Sixth Form delivering Cambridge A Levels planned for the future. In Primary, English, Mathematics and Science underpin core learning, with Portuguese and Dutch language provision and English as an Additional Language (EAL). In Year 7, pupils sample French and Spanish before selecting a language option from Year 8 onward. The school currently operates across a Primary site and a Secondary site, with a new Secondary School campus due to open in September 2026 to deliver Years 7–13. Facilities include eco-friendly Primary premises, a modern Secondary building, bright classrooms, an atrium, a library, specialist rooms, and a dining room with meals cooked onsite. After-school VivaHUB, a British-style House System, Student Council, and partnerships with WWF and Eco-Schools underpin a rich, community-focused experience.
