Introduction

Leiria International School serves students aged 3 to 18 with a Cambridge curriculum from Early Years through A/AS Levels, taught entirely in English. The programme encompasses Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Secondary, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS Levels and Cambridge A Levels, complemented by a Reggio Emilia Approach in the early years. The first LIS campus is located in Marinha Grande, in a historic building dating from 1966 that has been renovated for modern use. Learning spaces are designed to support the whole person—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development. Outdoor learning is central, with projects that integrate nature and community engagement. The interior design emphasizes transparency and movement, with flexible spaces prepared for project-based learning and integrated digital technology. The campus aims to feel like a welcoming home while maintaining clear academic standards. All instruction is in English, and LIS is an accredited Cambridge International program provider.

Fees

Application fee

- The school does not publish a publicly available fixed application or enrollment fee amount. Applications are submitted through the school's online application process and the admissions team handles confirmation and next steps.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)

- The school does not publish a public tuition-fee schedule by year group or per term on its public materials. No definitive per-term or per-year amounts for Early Years, Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE or Upper Secondary (AS/A Level) are available in the school's public pages.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- There is no publicly posted billing schedule or detailed payment-terms document (for example: termly/annual invoicing dates, late-payment penalties, instalment plans) on the school's publicly accessible pages. The admissions and enrollment process is managed by the school's admissions team.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable. Leiria International School operates as a day school and does not have boarding facilities.

Other costs or fees

- Uniform: Students are required to wear a school uniform; uniform items are handled through the school's uniform/LIS Store arrangements. Costs for uniform items are not published.

- School lunches / cafeteria: The school operates a full-service cafeteria run by an external provider; parents pay for this service separately. The cafeteria price schedule is not published on the school's public pages.

- Transport: The school operates a bus service (Leiria and coast routes); a route-selection form is available. Specific per-route or per-seat transport charges are not published.

- BYOD / device requirement: Students from Form 3 onward must have a personal device under the school's Bring Your Own Device programme. Any device cost is a parent expense and is not published as part of a school fee schedule.

- Extracurricular activities: After-school extracurricular activities are available and any associated fees are charged separately; no comprehensive public price list for activities was found.

Refund information

- No publicly posted, detailed refund policy for application deposits, registration payments, tuition refunds, or pro‑rata term refunds was found on the school's public pages.

Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other)

- The school's public materials do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example credit card, debit card, bank transfer, or local payment platforms). Payment method details are handled through the admissions/enrollment process.

Summary of findings and limitation

- I reviewed the school's public admissions and school-life pages and checked third‑party school directory listings. The school's public pages confirm the school's location, admissions process, day‑school status, uniform requirement, cafeteria arrangement, transport service and BYOD requirement, but they do not publish a fee schedule or numerical amounts for application fees, tuition by year/term, billing schedules, refund rules, boarding (not applicable), or accepted payment methods. Because no published fee schedule or numeric fee amounts were available, exact figures for any requested fee items cannot be supplied from the school's public materials.
