IPS Cascais British International School prides itself on the warmth of its welcome to children and parents from around the world. It is a relatively small school of around 350 children, but almost 40 different nationalities make up the close-knit community. This international, vibrant community helps to create a learning environment that fosters a global understanding; appreciating cultures, as well as each other. The school is proud of the high academic standards achieved by the children and encourages them to achieve their best in all aspects of the curriculum.
IPS Cascais has been teaching the National Curriculum for England more than 40 years, starting all the way back in 1982. Situated 25km to the west of Lisbon, IPS Cascais attracts families living in Cascais and the surrounding localities, from Oeiras to Sintra. In 2010, IPS Cascais moved into its sustainable, purpose-built facilities that are ideal for Primary Education.
The construction of a new purpose-built Secondary School is underway, and it is planned for its doors to open during the academic year 2025/26. Over the coming years, the Secondary School will deliver an educational programme from Years 7 up to Year 13, ensuring pupils get the qualifications and experiences for them to take to universities across the world.
