Cambridge education with a bilingual younger-years option

King’s College School in Cascais describes a Cambridge educational pathway and a Portuguese-English bilingual programme for younger pupils. Its published information also sets out an IB route after Year 11. That gives families several programme details to compare rather than a single uniform language model.

The school’s published pages differ on the highest year currently available. Before planning a transfer, get direct confirmation that the intended grade and pathway are operating for the proposed start date. For younger children, ask which subjects are taught in each language and how progression into the later programme works.

Year 13 appears in the current fee schedule
