Very serious concerns about the quality of education at this school.
They certainly do their best to keep the parents happy, but try to get involved, ask questions, see what your child is actually learning and you will be deeply disappointed.
For example, most of the time there are two grades in one classroom. They say that they have a special system where every grade has their own work to do on their level. What's really going on is they don't have enough room for every grade to have their own classroom and not enough teachers. So they make it work and you're basically paying for your child to repeat a grade every other year.
Parents that value their children's education leave this school.
There are many reasons why this school is much cheaper than other international schools in the Lisbon area. Trust me, it's not worth it.

I moved my daughter to ICSC School part way through year 7 as she had been very unhappy in her previous school. The school care was fantastic, the teachers really made it easy for my daughter to settle in and be part of the help her integrate into the class. Since settling in at school family providing extra support and activities to so many people have noticed such a positive change in my daughter she is now happy, confident in herself and loves learning. It would be fair to say that the change in my daughter is largely down to the support and effort of the teaching staff at who have right from day 1 made her feel part of the family. I can't thank staff enough for making a positive impact on my daughter’s life and setting her up for success in the future.

I was a High School student at ICSC, from 10th grade until graduation. Through my three years at ICSC, I had amazing experiences and made great friends. The faculty members, governing body, and students create an amazing community. All the lessons I learned there were essential to get me to the next chapter of my life. I am now attending Saint Louis University (International Business) in the USA, and I look back with pride on my time at ICSC.

I am writing this review to highly recommend the International Christian School of Cascais. We were lucky and blessed to find ISCS. They immediately took in our son and the whole family. I remember that first day he got off the bus and he said mom they really care about me. I knew right then we had made the correct choice.
Our son had behavioral issues and was placed on a IEP and a behavioral IEP. ICSC did everything they could to help him. The patience and understanding that the school has is unmeasurable.

Since moving from Portugal to California in July of 2020 he has had no behavioral issues and is
off both of his IEP and he is getting straight A's in all his classes. I believe in my heart if it wouldn’t have been for ISCS doing everything that they did and how they went over and beyond we would still be having the issues with him today.
I highly recommend the school... read full review

ICSC is a unique jewel, in that its greatest assets are its teachers and administrative staff. The staff and teachers at ICSC are diligent, thorough, and professional, embodying what you would expect from any school. I have and would recommend ICSC to anyone, especially if you are looking for a school that will meet your academic requirements, they work very hard to do this. However, if you are looking for a school that will help nurture your child to being a good and conscientious human being ICSC does this also, and that is not something that you can always get. It has been a pleasure interacting with this school, and we will miss this fine institution of learning.
