About Us

The Lisboan School welcomes children aged 3 to 18 into a world-class education shaped by academic excellence, innovation and the vibrant spirit of Lisbon. Since opening in September 2025, we have built a dynamic and nurturing learning community for students aged 3 to 14, growing alongside our families and adding a new year group each year until our full Secondary School programme is complete in 2028.

We believe education should inspire curiosity, character and confidence. Our students are known, challenged and supported as individuals, benefiting from small class sizes, exceptional teaching and a deeply personalised approach to learning. We combine high academic standards with a warm, family-centred environment where children feel happy, valued and empowered to thrive.

Our forward-thinking academic programme brings together the globally respected Cambridge International framework and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, offering students a rigorous and future-focused education that balances intellectual ambition with creativity, wellbeing and personal growth.

What makes The Lisboan distinctive is not only the quality of our education, but the community we are building. We partner closely with families, recognising parents as an essential part of each child’s journey, and foster a culture of kindness, responsibility and global-mindedness. Rooted in Lisbon and international in outlook, our school prepares young people not only for success at leading universities, but for meaningful, purposeful lives.

Children do not simply attend school, they belong to a community where they can flourish as individuals together.

A School in the Heart of Lisbon 

From our historic home in the Alcântara district, we provide children with a learning experience that emphasises innovation, sustainability and global citizenship. Our students gain the skills, knowledge and ambition to thrive in the twenty first century. 

Learning is further enriched by the Artemis Experience which is our dynamic co-curricular programme offering opportunities to explore personal passions, develop new skills, and connect with Lisbon’s vibrant culture and landscape. 

A Kind and Inclusive Community
The Lisboan is a non-selective, inclusive and supportive school community. Our purpose as educators is to enable children to flourish in their time with us, in their future studies, and throughout their lives. We nurture curiosity, motivation and confidence, empowering every student to discover their purpose and become the best version of themselves.
