Parents from 50 nationalities currently have chosen CAISL’s approach for their children.

As described by a Grade 7 student’s parent, “at CAISL the students are the center. They feel welcomed and accepted. The academic level is high, and, in our daughter’s case, her teachers made a very good job helping her to move out of her comfort zone. It really made a difference. The culture at CAISL is special: multicultural, respectful and caring.”

CAISL is also unique in offering students the opportunity of graduating with two academic credentials. All CAISL students pursue the American High School Diploma for their 4 years of High School. In the last two years, they may also undertake studies leading to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, two credentials which are accepted at universities worldwide, including the US, the UK and Portugal.

CAISL is the only American school in Portugal with sponsorship from the US Department of State, with permanent license from the Portuguese Ministry of Education and accredited with the Middle States Association (MSA). As CAISL is governed by a not-forprofit foundation, all school funds are used for the benefits of the current and future students.

CAISL is a student-centered educational community in which we challenge ourselves and each other to do our best and to make positive contributions to our diverse and ever-changing world.
