The list of schools in Lisbon and the surrounding area given here is far from exhaustive; it includes only the most popular ones. Overall, it can be said that the demand for education according to international standards in Portugal exceeds supply. It is not so easy to get into some educational institutions – there is a waiting list. But sometimes our clients manage to enrol in a school even in the middle of the academic year, for example in St. Peter’s International School in Palmela.
In any case, we are happy to help with communications with schools for clients who want buy property in Lisbon or Cascais.
