The Lisboan International School

Our purpose as educators is to enable our children to thrive. To do so, they need to be equipped with the skills and ambition to succeed in life in the mid-21st Century. Our goal is to create expressive, selfconfident, and critically minded individuals, with a solid foundation to flourish in higher education and beyond.

Fundamental to The Lisboan community are five key values: kindness | curiosity | connection | resilience | integrity

Underpinning our values are our three BOA principles: core subjects of English, maths, a language, and science, but supporting this will be a wide range of academic, creative and technological opportunities that are designed to stimulate and expand a pupils curiosity and interest in the wider world. New subjects such as marine biology, astronomy and problem-solving break down subject barriers and allow an element of choice for pupils to explore their interests and passions when it comes to learning. Our Senior students will follow the Cambridge International Education IGCSE curriculum, supplemented by an in-depth elective programme, before moving on to the International Baccalaureate’s Diploma Programme (IBDP). Our internationally accredited curricula is enriched by the Artemis Experience, a dynamic extracurricular program that makes the most of our location in Lisbon

The Lisboan is breathing new life into a heritage building in the heart of Alcântara, a dynamic community in western Lisbon. A beautiful building of industrial significance, A Napolitana, as it was known, dates back to 1908 and remained in operation until 1970 as a pasta and flour factory. The building’s industrial heritage now provides a modern and sustainable learning environment.

We offer world class facilities on campus and will be supplementing these with access to additional outdoor space. Our campus provides our hub, but Lisbon is our classroom. A short walk away from the school, we have an enormous range of facilities on our doorstep from rowing and sailing on the river to astronomy and growing our own food at the local University campus. These will support and enhance the curriculum.

As an Artemis Education School, The Lisboan is committed to the Artemis Promise. We look towards the future and engage in actions to deliver a better planet to the children we teach, the communities we build and to the wider world in every way we can.
