King’s College Cascais boldly embodies this balance. Through Inspired’s three pillars of Academics, Sport, and Creative & Performing Arts, we nurture confident, curious learners who thrive both in and beyond the classroom. This balance is at the heart of the King’s College legacy, rooted in 50 years of excellence. I am particularly excited to strengthen our boarding community, where the safety, camaraderie, and adventures of Portugal’s landscape create a ‘home away from home.’
A message from our
Executive Head.
King’s College School, Cascais is more than a school, it is a gateway to an exceptional education, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Portugal’s coastline and hills. As the new Executive Head, I am proud to lead a community where academic excellence, global opportunities, and the joy of learning come together in perfect harmony.
Our school has an unwavering commitment to nurturing the whole child. Here, success begins with a simple truth: schools must first be places where children feel safe, feel happy, and make friends - because only then can they truly ‘do well.’ Academic excellence is the outcome, not the starting point. When students know they belong, when they are encouraged to take risks without fear, and when they learn in an environment that prioritises wellbeing as much as achievement, remarkable things happen. Students that step into our classrooms, or explore our outdoor learning spaces, discover an environment designed to foster confidence, friendship, and curiosity.
Our curriculum, from the Inspired Early Years programme and Cambridge Primary curriculum, spanning the Cambridge IGCSE to the IB Diploma, prepares students for the world’s top universities, but it is our culture that sets us apart. Whether through sports, performing arts, or adventures in Portugal’s natural landscape, we empower students to take risks, collaborate, and grow into resilient global citizens. For boarding students, Cascais becomes both a home and a launchpad, offering safety, camaraderie, and endless opportunities to explore.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a parent will ever make. At King’s College Cascais, we commit to partnering with you in raising children who are not only academically accomplished but also kind, courageous, and deeply engaged with the world.
I invite you to visit us and feel the energy of King’s College, Cascais for yourself. The door is always open.
