Montessori Bright Academy is an international Montessori school in Lisbon, founded by Fabienne Mikou, housed in a traditional Portuguese building in Alvalade with direct access to a forest. The school serves ages 1 to 12 across three programs: Toddler (1–3), Primary (3–6), and Elementary (6–12). Lessons run 8:00–13:00 for Toddlers; 8:00–15:30 for Primary; 8:00–15:45 for Elementary. The language environment is English with exposure to French and Portuguese, supporting multilingual development. AMI-certified guides deliver the Montessori pedagogy across all ages, emphasizing hands-on, mastery-based learning in mixed-age communities. The curriculum integrates practical life, sensorial work, language, and mathematics, with a Forest School outdoor program that connects learning to nature. Outdoor discovery fosters independence, collaboration, and environmental awareness across science, history, geography, and the arts. The school promotes independence, curiosity, and holistic learning, supported by a 20-hectare green playground adjacent to a forest, within a diverse, international community. Facilities nurture inquiry and resilience.
