- The school's public materials do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example credit card, debit card, bank transfer, or local payment platforms). Payment method details are handled through the admissions/enrollment process.
Summary of findings and limitation
- I reviewed the school's public admissions and school-life pages and checked third‑party school directory listings. The school's public pages confirm the school's location, admissions process, day‑school status, uniform requirement, cafeteria arrangement, transport service and BYOD requirement, but they do not publish a fee schedule or numerical amounts for application fees, tuition by year/term, billing schedules, refund rules, boarding (not applicable), or accepted payment methods. Because no published fee schedule or numeric fee amounts were available, exact figures for any requested fee items cannot be supplied from the school's public materials.
Leiria International School serves students aged 3 to 18 with a Cambridge curriculum from Early Years through A/AS Levels, taught entirely in English. The programme encompasses Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Secondary, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS Levels and Cambridge A Levels, complemented by a Reggio Emilia Approach in the early years. The first LIS campus is located in Marinha Grande, in a historic building dating from 1966 that has been renovated for modern use. Learning spaces are designed to support the whole person—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development. Outdoor learning is central, with projects that integrate nature and community engagement. The interior design emphasizes transparency and movement, with flexible spaces prepared for project-based learning and integrated digital technology. The campus aims to feel like a welcoming home while maintaining clear academic standards. All instruction is in English, and LIS is an accredited Cambridge International program provider.
