Good to know for international families

Teaching is in Portuguese. The website does not describe support for children who are new to Portuguese, so ask the school. The price page gives 1.º ciclo fees but not the school year they apply to, so confirm them with the school.

The school's price page (checked 22 October 2026) lists 1.º ciclo at €355 a month × 10 months = €3,550, a matrícula of €305 and insurance of €30. Pré-escolar fees depend on family income. The page does not say which school year these prices are for, so please confirm with the school.
