Teaching Children How To Think
Academic excellence is achieved when students and teachers share a love of learning. Extending beyond the curriculum, we explore each subject in richness and depth. The same dedication is also brought to music, sports and the arts. British education is self-motivated, rounded and encourages a culture of curiosity and exploration.
Let’s Start This Journey Together
There are many reasons why The British School of Lisbon stands out from the crowd. The main one is our community of staff, parents, and students. We are very fortunate to have exceptional people make up our BSL community. However, it does not stop there, it’s also the setting - the building, the grounds, the location.

“The British School of Lisbon gave my family peace of mind to see two happy boys going to school everyday. Having children with two very different personalities, I can see both feel like the school is their "home" allowing them to develop their skills as individuals put also integrated in the general community. Thanks a lot BSL!”

“BSL is exactly how children would design a school, while fulfilling parent’s aspirations for them! The school doesn't just educate our children, it also develops their personality from a holistic perspective encouraging them to be caring, respectful and resilient; all while having a lot of creative fun! BSL has a very embracing community that enables our little ones to thrive and have true passions in life”

Utilising technology as a tool to enhance the children’s learning opportunities remains a key goal and it has been wonderful to see children transported to other countries with green screen, directing their own stop motion films linked to writing projects, creating marketing campaigns as they design new products and even competing head to head in the BSL Robot Wars! I am so happy to be part of the team inspiring the great minds of tomorrow.
EMBRACING THE LISBON LIFESTYLE
Families who join our school are not just seeking the very best British education, but also want their children to experience the culture and traditions that lie at the heart of Lisbon.
