St. Dominic’s International School is a mixed, non-denominational, all-through, independent international school with sixth form, situated in Outeiro de Polima in Portugal.
The educational programme and learning at the school is influenced by the International Baccalaureate Organisation and its IB Learner Profile, and the Dominican motto of ‘Veritas’ held by the founders of the school, which both value the commitment to learning through inquiry and an on-going search for truth.
In 1954, the Irish Dominican Sisters established the Bom Sucesso Girls’ Day School, which became St Dominic’s College, a co-educational school, in 1963. In 1988, St Dominic’s College was re-named St Dominic’s International School.
