National and international routes in Palmela

St. Peter’s International School combines a bilingual Portuguese national pathway with an international route through Cambridge, IGCSE and the IB Diploma. Its wider provision begins in infancy, while boarding is offered for ages 14 to 18. The school is based in Palmela.

This makes curriculum and residential arrangements two separate choices. Families should identify the intended academic route first, then ask how boarding fits that programme and what costs are included. A younger child’s bilingual national curriculum should not be assumed to match the timetable or qualifications of an older student on the international route.

Campus and daily life

The Palmela campus covers 37,000 square metres and includes science laboratories, an auditorium, sports fields and a boarding residence. The school describes more than eighty activities across sport, arts and academic interests. Portuguese national and international pathways share the school; ask which facilities, timetable and activities serve the chosen class. Boarding eligibility and weekly arrangements should be confirmed separately.
