Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Pre-registration can be completed online or in person. It does not guarantee a place; it only secures a position on the waiting list. Pre-registrations can be submitted at any time and for any future academic year, with online registration available throughout the year. They allow the candidate to be considered in the class allocation process. 2. Introduction Meeting: After online pre-registration, a meeting with a member of the Pedagogical Management Team is scheduled to learn about the school's educational programme, facilities, and offerings. The meeting is ideally attended by both the student and the parent or guardian, and provides an opportunity to ask questions about the programme and the school's approach. 3. Enrollment: If a place is confirmed by the school, the parent or guardian will be contacted by phone and provided with information required to complete enrollment in accordance with the Educational Project and Internal Regulations. Following the introduction meeting, pre-registration is confirmed upon payment of the applicable fee, which is set annually in the school's fee schedule. Enrollment requires submitting the required documentation and paying the enrollment fee. 4. Waiting list and admission criteria: A waiting list is established once all available places have been filled, based on the date of pre-registration, with an exception for siblings currently attending the school. Siblings have priority; admission is contingent upon an interview with a Pedagogical Management Team member during a pre-scheduled visit and adherence to the school's Educational Project and Internal Regulations. Enrollment is confirmed after completing the necessary procedures (enrollment form, documentation, enrollment payment) and, during the process, information about fees, timetables, and services is provided. If a place is available, families are contacted in line with the admission criteria. Pre-registration fee is non-refundable.

Oceanus International School offers a bilingual English-Portuguese education within the Cambridge Curriculum for ages 1 to 10. The Early Years Programme (Pre-Primary) and the Primary Programme (1st Cycle) are aligned with the national framework, with Cambridge-recognised certification possible by the end of Year 4. The Nursery and Pre-School use a project-based approach that supports holistic development, language and literacy, mathematical thinking, social-emotional skills, and multilingualism. In Primary, the curriculum builds solid academic foundations, learning-to-learn skills, creativity, and global citizenship, with English central alongside Portuguese. The school joined MB Education Group in 2025 and became part of the Cambridge International network, reflecting its emphasis on academic excellence, global outlook, and meaningful learning. Facilities are designed for independent exploration, with nature contact, open-ended materials, healthy meals, and reliable transport. It is an Apple Distinguished School (since 2022) with two Apple Distinguished Educators among staff. Extracurriculars include Chess, Robothink, and Dance, among others.
