Established in 2010, the English-speaking school offers the International Baccalaureate program throughout all year groups. The school caters for students in Year 2 through to Year 13, having previously hosted only students in Years 7 through 12 during its inaugural academic year. (2010/11).[2]

The school campus is based on the premises of a 17th-century palace,[2][3] the Quinta de Nossa Senhora da Conceição in Barcarena, Oeiras. The 5 hectare campus was newly refurbished in 2011, boasting a vast array of state-of-the-art amenities.[2] During its inaugural year (2010/2011), the school opened at temporary premises, located at Fundição de Oeiras,[4][5][6][7] but has since been located at its present campus.[2]

We will focus on intellectual rigour, helping all students to achieve their full potential".[8]
