It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Uniform is mandatory for creche, jardim de infância and ensino básico and must be purchased through the school. The winter uniform is worn October to April, and the summer uniform is worn September and May to July; creche and jardim de infância may also opt for a bata. The uniform must be clearly identified with the child's name; if not worn, the uniform will be put on the child by staff and debited to the next month's invoice; the school is not responsible for the loss of uniform items.
We prepare meals with the utmost care and precision, adhering to high standards of hygiene and food safety that are regularly audited. We select fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure a balanced, healthy diet tailored to the needs of each child. The school promotes food education based on variety and respect for each child's individuality.
