Find your International School in Braga, Portugal

Colégio João Paulo II is defined by academic excellence, strong human and Christian values, close teacher-student relationships, a safe and welcoming environment, and a commitment to the integral development of each student.

Our Learning Centre stands out for creating a warm and familiar environment where children and young people can grow without fear or pressure to fit into predefined standards, finding a safe space to discover, develop and express their unique talents. At the same time, learning to live in society and engage intelligently with reality is equally important to us. We value an education that encourages questioning, creativity and academic rigour, while nurturing responsibility, care for others and care for the Earth. We recognise that the world is not separate from us, and that each person has a role to play in shaping the future we share.
We offer a variety of educational programmes for children, young people and adults. For children, these include nature-based activities and Montessori materials for ages 3 to 6 (Mundo da Floresta), Montessori and project-based learning for ages 6 to 16 (Escola do Mundo and Mundo Teens), and experiential programmes for teenagers, avoiding traditional assessment and competition as central axes of the educational process.
For adults, we provide programmes in the areas of education, parenting, health and natural and healthy living. We also plan to expand our reach through online courses in Portuguese and English, with the aim of creating a global community centred on self-knowledge and holistic education.
Maintained under the same leadership since 2014, the organisation continuously invests in the training of its educational team, promoting an education grounded in values such as kindness, integrity, responsibility, humility and authenticity, preparing children and young people for life as a whole.
