The Lisboan International School is a brand new school, forming part of Artemis Education’s family of schools. Artemis Education is a growing private international schools group with a mission to improve access to outstanding education. Home - Artemis (artemis-education.com)

Opening in September 2024 for students in Nursery - Year 10, the school will eventually house 1,200 students from Nursery to Year 13.

Nestled in the vibrant Alcântara district of Lisbon, The Lisboan occupies the space of a former pasta factory, thoughtfully transformed to honour its heritage while fostering an engaging learning environment suitable for global citizens. Alcântara, an emerging district featuring offices, apartments, bars, and restaurants, is well-connected to the rest of Lisbon and neighbouring districts via an efficient public transport system and road network.

Lisbon is currently experiencing a period of rapid development, marked by the influx of foreign investment and a growing international community. While there are several international schools in the vicinity, The Lisboan stands out as one of the few situated within the city itself, offering a unique educational experience at the heart of Lisbon's evolving landscape.

The school´s curriculum will follow an enhanced version of the National Curriculum for England and Wales culminating with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

As important as academic results are the values for which we stand, which are embedded in all areas of school life. The “BOA” principles (Boa is good in Portuguese):

B – Belong to a community, collaboration within learning and play at the school.

O – Own the opportunity to become the best possible version of ourselves by developing various skills and intelligences.

A – Act as we are putting into practice what we have learned.

These are transferred to the pupils by our 5 Key Values which are:

• Kindness
• Curiosity
• Connectedness
• Resilience
• Integrity

The school places the whole child at the core of all that we do. As such staff will not only be expected to be inspirational educationalists but also act as role models for all children and to contribute to the extracurricular programme of the school, known as the Experience.

The Lisboan is seeking to become the leading international school in Lisbon and Portugal.

The school is nothing without its staff. If, after reading this you are excited by the prospect of being part of The Lisboan founding team, we look forward to receiving your application.

The Lisboan is an equal opportunities employer.
