Redbridge International School is located in Lisbon’s Campo de Ourique neighborhood, providing a trilingual education in English, French, and Portuguese. The school uses the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the French National Curriculum in its primary years, transitioning to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years and Diploma Programmes for secondary students. The campus includes a dedicated library, a multi-use sports court, and a creative atelier for student projects. A unique feature of the school is the "Redbridge Project," a trilingual immersion initiative where students switch between three languages throughout their daily learning and social interactions rather than keeping them separate. The school frequently uses the surrounding neighborhood as a learning space, with students visiting the local market and community gardens for practical lessons. This model focuses on linguistic flexibility and integrating the school environment with the local urban community through direct interaction and multilingual communication.
