ROLE SUMMARY:

King’s College School is a brand-new school that opened in September 2022, in Cascais. It is an international school offering a truly global education and is the only school in the Lisbon area to offer the full world-renowned Cambridge curriculum up until Year 11 (age 16) and then culminates with the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme in Years 12 & 13 (age 16-19). Our first intake for September 2022 was for students from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) (age 1) through to Year 8 (age 13). In September 2023, we will naturally expand the school and offer places up to Year 10 (age 15); following this, a new year group will then be added annually through to Year 13 (age 18), which is the final year of school.
