International Christian School of Cascais

Our students are taught in love and discipline. They are treated as individuals, each with their own characters. We grow together as a family, learning to accept and show tolerance for each others differences. Respect is very important. Aside from our staff, our Student School Council is always available to encourage and help other students. As a school we have a lot of interactive activities (like a sports day, international day, etc), which also helps with bonding.
