Demand for Schools in Lisbon
Demand for school places in our area has increased dramatically over the last few years and we recommend contacting the school as soon as possible. Requesting information, booking a visit and scheduling a meeting with the team does not commit you in any way. Fees will only be charged if/when IPS can offer a place to your child.
