Students joining us benefit from the uniquely developed Inspired Approach to Early Years Education, building up through the world-renowned Cambridge International Primary and Secondary curriculum offering IGCSEs, to culminate with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for when our students reach Years 12 and 13. King’s College School, Cascais is a Candidate School* for the IB Diploma. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that King’s College School, Cascais believes is important for our students. A bilingual curriculum is available for students up to Year 5 who are interested in following the Portuguese curriculum while also mastering the English language. We believe this combination provides our students with a unique curriculum that offers both breadth and depth and ensures entry into the top universities around the world.

At King’s College School, students are taught by specialist, hand-picked teachers in the areas of Maths, English, Spanish, French, Science, Music, Physical Education, Dance, Public Speaking and Drama. All our students, from Primary years upwards, benefit from this team of specialist staff, who bring deeper and broader subject knowledge and have greater insight into the subject that they teach.

Students at our school are encouraged to be creative in their thinking and to work hard. This attitude, combined with the Inspired approach, ensures academic excellence and a rewarding experience for every student.

King’s College School, Cascais offers a learning pathway unlike any other, ensuring students can truly flourish and succeed. An important part of that success is considering how our students interact with their local community. We draw upon the local Portuguese culture, values and heritage in order to enhance our academic offer from the Early Years onwards. This is an approach taken across many Inspired schools, one which is proven to create a cohort of globally minded, well-rounded and successful world-ready citizens who can truly flourish in their chosen fields.

*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
