About international schools in Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon’s more affordable international schools tend to be a mix of English-medium and bilingual Portuguese-international providers that follow the International Baccalaureate, the English National Curriculum (leading to Cambridge IGCSEs), and a smaller number of American, French or German pathways. At the lower end you can find primary-level international or bilingual places from roughly €4,500 to about €11,000 a year, while the broader international sector typically lists mid-range tuitions around €9,600 - €18,000 and premium schools above that; expect additional one-off registration or building fees on top of published tuition. Admissions follow the Portuguese school calendar with a September start: many schools open applications and run open days in the autumn for the following school year, offer places on a rolling basis, and also admit mid-year where space allows. Practical issues for relocating families include getting the paperwork schools ask for (many Portuguese and international schools request a tax number/NIF or proof of residency and certified school records) and budgeting for extras such as uniforms, transport and exam or capital fees.
