Established in 2010, the English-speaking school offers the International Baccalaureate program throughout all year groups. The school caters for students in Year 6 through to Year 13, having previously hosted only students in Years 7 through 12 during it's inaugural academic year (2010/11).[2]
The school campus is based on the premises of a 17th Century palace,[2][3] the Quinta de Nossa Senhora da Conceição in Barcarena, Oeiras.
