Learning together to shape a brighter future
- British international school
- For ages 3-18

Generations of children have been shaped, inspired and educated by St. Julian’s; a thriving community that feels like family and lasts a lifetime. Each child is nurtured, supported and educated as an individual. The equation is simple: a happy, fulfilled child can - and will - achieve academic excellence. Our students are encouraged to reach their full potential in an environment that inspires and supports them while instilling a lifelong love of learning and knowledge.
Learning and growing together
A unique and serene location between beach and city
Nestled between beautiful Carcavelos beach and historic Lisbon, St. Julian’s stunning campus boasts one of the most impressive locations in Europe. A truly unique blend of natural beauty and urban convenience.
At the heart of our school sits an elegant 18th-century palace surrounded by gardens, sports facilities, woodland areas, and fresh sea air. Our vast grounds and fantastic location provide endless opportunities to enrich your child’s education.
Surf, rugby, football, cricket, athletics to name just a few, plus the joy of Forest School, a mud kitchen and pond-dipping for the little ones.

We Will Remember Them.

It is a moment to honour the past, recognise the importance of peace and remind ourselves of the values of compassion, respect and understanding that unite us. Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #StJuliansLisbon

What might your child discover at Nursery today?
Perhaps how to pour a jug without spilling, or how much more fun an adventure is with a friend. At St. Julian’s Nursery, there is space for busy hands, big imaginations and quiet moments together. Through play, children explore their ideas, build friendships and find the confidence to try something new. Choosing a nursery is about imagining where your child will feel happy, known and ready to explore. We’d love to help you picture those first steps. Contact our Admissions team to arrange a visit and discover the St. Julian’s Nursery for yourself, through the link in bio. #StJuliansLisbon #TheJoyOfLearning #StJuliansNursery
