About St. Julian's School
School profile
St. Julian’s School is a private co-educational not-for-profit school founded in 1932 with a strong record of academic achievement and extra-curricular activity. Located on a beautiful site in Carcavelos, between central Lisbon and Cascais, St. Julian’s has three sections, each with its own Principal: Primary, Bilingual and Secondary.
St. Julian’s has an outstanding academic reputation in Portugal and overseas, and has grown into a learning community of just over 1,200 students of more than 60different nationalities, aged from three to 18. Although academic achievement is a priority, St Julian’s strives to foster independence, versatility, love of learning, self-discipline and personal excellence in every student. Since 1998, St Julian’s has been jointly accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). St Julian’s is also authorised by the IBO to offer its senior students the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme. The School is an Accredited Member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) and our Head is a member of The Heads' Conference (HMC).
St Julian’s is a place where children can thrive, inspired by dedicated and passionate teachers. At St. Julian’s the curriculum is adapted to reflect the community’s roots in Portugal as well as the international nature of its student body, and enriched by the School’s own curriculum development strategies.
From Nursery (age 3+) to Year 11 (age 16+) St. Julian’s models the curricula on those currently mandated to schools in England by the UK Department for Education. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) embraces the two years of Nursery and Reception, ages three to five. Thereafter students progress through the Key Stages of the curriculum.
The Secondary section attempts to nurture in each student a sense of self-confidence and happiness; students are encouraged to speak up for themselves and relationships between teachers and students are lively, engaging and stimulating. At the end of Key Stage 4, students take a series of public examinations (GCSE and IGCSEs).
After age 16, St. Julian’s prepares students for university by offering courses leading to the International Baccalaureate Diploma. St. Julian’s consistently achieves extraordinary results. This success can be attributed to factors such as the strength, talent and hard work of our students, and the immense dedication and care of our teachers.
