Hi,

Please have a look on the website below. They are based in Cascais and in Odivelas (Lisbon). Perhaps you can get more detailed information from them too.

Best Regards,

St Julian (http://www.stjulians.com/) is the best alternative, located between Cascais and Lisbon.

As far as I know, it is quite expensive for the country (not compared to the UK...). We heard that as a result, the selection criteria seems to be whether the family can afford more than the level of the students, even in English.

Our children are much younger (so we have a greater choice for their age), but we seriously consider to send them to a boarding school in France or in the UK for secondary school.

You may also consider homeschooling with a tutor.

There is also an american school, a french school, an evangelical school and other alternatives.
