Overview edit
The British School of Lisbon (BSL) was established by The Schools Trust, a nonprofit foundation from the United Kingdom, whose trustees have been operating a number of international schools since 2005.[4][5] BSL first opened its doors on 12 September 2019.[6] The school is located within the central district of the Lisbon downtown at Rua de São Paulo, in Cais do Sodré,[7] in a historical building built in the second half of the 18th century and renovated in 2010.[8][1] In March 2020, following the coronavirus pandemic and restrictions applied by the Ministry of Education and Portuguese authorities for the educational institutions, the school adopted a Distance Learning Program for its students with the teaching provided by a combination of videoconferences and individual lessons.[5]
Academics and administration edit
The school students follow the National Curriculum for England, which is segmented into phases of Early Years and Primary School.[9][10] The classes are taught in English language.[5] The learning program includes English language and literature, Math, Sciences, Portuguese language and culture, Physical Education, Music, Humanities and more. The students are required to wear school uniforms.[11] The headteacher of the school is Zoe Hubbard.[12]
Accreditation edit
The British School of Lisbon is certified and validated by the Institute of Financial Management and Education (IGeFE) in Portugal.[13]
