Escola Lá Fora is a forest school. Its “Ericeira” site is on private land in São João das Lampas, near Praia de São Julião. That’s in Sintra municipality, just south of Ericeira, not in Mafra.
The school’s news post says the site opened for 2023/2024 with a full-time group for pre-school children (ages 3 to 6) and forest-school holiday camps for ages 3 to 12. We couldn’t confirm this year’s group on its website, so ask before you plan around it.
Fees are not published on the pages we checked (24 Oct 2026). Ask Escola Lá Fora.
Facts checked on the school's own website on 24 October 2026. Schools update fees and programmes every year, so please confirm details with the school before you apply.
