King's College School is a brand-new school that opened in September 2022, in Cascais. It offers a truly global education and is the only school in the Lisbon area to offer the full Cambridge curriculum up until Year 11 (age 16) and then culminate with the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme in Years 12 & 13 (age 16-19). Our first intake was for students from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) (age 1) through to Year 8 (age 13). In September 2023, we expanded the school and offered places up to Year 10 (age 15); following this, a new year group will be added annually through to Year 13 (age 18), which is the final year of school.
This is an exciting time to join our team as we design our growth roadmap and new staff can actively participate in this project.
While we are committed to academic excellence, we believe that personal and professional growth of our staff is equally important.
We are always on the lookout for talented individuals who can bring their unique skills and expertise to our organization.
