At Cesário Verde International School, our mission is to enable our students to develop an international mindset that allows them to be compassionate and active local, national and global citizens.

We have a professional and dedicated teaching staff who use a variety of pedagogical approaches. We focus on each student as an individual, supporting their achievement in all aspects of learning and enabling them to achieve the highest academic standards. We develop their creativity and support their growing independence to have the courage to act in accordance with their beliefs.

As a community that includes students, families and staff, respect is a vital quality in making our school a wonderful, safe and inspiring place to be. It is a place where different perspectives are cherished, where an ethos of integrity is valued, and where caring for one another is natural. Our multilingual environment fosters the belief that in our differences, we all have similarities and that the effort to communicate allows us to achieve all of our other goals.
