The International Christian School of Cascais was founded in 1980 and sits in Alcabideche, just inland from Cascais. It is a Christian school, and faith shapes daily life and learning here.

It offers an American-style curriculum from PreK to Grade 12. Classes are small, and the high school programme is run in partnership with the University of Nebraska High School, leading towards US high school graduation.

ICSC accepts students all year round, which can help if you’re arriving mid-year. If a Christian ethos matters to your family, it’s worth a conversation with the school, including about fees, which it shares directly.

The school does not publish its fees online. Its admissions page asks families to contact the school for fees and other costs.
