Prep School Curriculum
Play and exploration are key components of learning in the Prep School, supporting every child’s curiosity, social development and creativity. Our curriculum is broad and engaging to develop independence, resilience and a love of learning. Our teachers build strong partnerships with families, communicating openly and collaborating on a child’s learning journey.
This way, our staff come to understand each child’s learning style and any challenges, and their learning can be personalised within the curriculum.

They are all designed to be inclusive and accessible for everyone, fostering a supportive atmosphere that celebrates everyone’s efforts and enthusiasm.
Wellbeing & Support
At St. Julian’s, we provide a safe, nurturing environment where every child thrives: wellbeing is central to school life. By communicating regularly with families, we work in partnership together to support your child.
Support is provided informally every day by our class teachers and our Phase Leaders, as well as through our strong Learning Support and EAL teams.
Enriched Learning
Bilingual Curriculum
The Bilingual Section at St. Julian’s School begins in 1º Ciclo (1º to 4º ano), offering pupils a comprehensive bilingual curriculum that integrates both Portuguese and English.
Bilingual pupils share certain lessons with pupils in the Prep School, including Art and Physical Education (PE). These creative and active subjects are ideal opportunities to foster a sense of collaboration between all our children, encouraging intercultural exchange as both groups learn together.
