I have a daughter of 4 years old.
And I'm willing to move to Portugal next month.
I'm considering about St.Jones, DSL in Estoril.. which is international school.
But every school is already full so Our kid have to wait for next year in the waiting list... so sad.

For kids coming from aboard, there are international schools exists in pretty much every average city. You should be able to find them with a basic internet search. However if you are worried about the quality of education and education language, it is a good idea to go talk with the school staff face to face, maybe they can introduce you to other foreigner parents to listen their experience.
