A world-class international school in central Lisbon

United Lisbon International School is a world-class international school located in central Lisbon, next to the Park of Nations. The school is for students in Early Childhood (from 3 years) to grade 12 – but for the academic year 2022, we will have classes up to grade 10 (typically 15/16 years). From September 2022, we will be building up the grades for the IB diploma as well with the first Grade 12 entrants starting in September 2023.

United Lisbon is a modern and innovative international school, offering English-language academic programs from Early Childhood (from 3 years) and to grade 12, with a challenging curriculum based on US-standards (NEASC) and leading to internationally acknowledged university-preparatory programs including the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma (United Lisbon is a candidate school).

We offer education that matters tomorrow: a school providing education inspired by and fit for the 21st century; an international education founded on rigorous standards of excellence, seamlessly integrating technology into the learning environment. We want our students to embrace the opportunities created in tomorrow’s world.

People matter: Good education builds on positive relations to form a learning community and engage students in a variety of both academical and personal learning processes. The role of teachers to guide student learning has transformed significantly throughout the last decades towards a varied, collaborative and holistic approach focused on formative learning processes. Technology offers new ways to enrich and personalize learning, and seamlessly extend the classroom.
