Two curriculum pathways in Carcavelos

St. Julian’s School offers an English curriculum alongside a Portuguese-English bilingual pathway. The English route leads to GCSEs and then the IB Diploma or Career-related Programme. Its Carcavelos location makes the school part of the wider Lisbon-area choice.

The two pathways should be compared at the relevant age rather than treated as one interchangeable programme. Ask how subjects and teaching languages differ, and how pupils progress towards the later qualifications. For a student approaching the final school years, clarify the distinction between the Diploma and Career-related options before reviewing a proposed course plan.

English and bilingual pathways
