Being a part of the Globeducate network provides pupils at IPS Cascais with a unique window into the world, connecting them with peers across 60 schools in 12 different countries. These global events are more than just competitions; they are vital opportunities for our pupils to develop international-mindedness, share diverse perspectives, and feel part of a community that extends far beyond our school gates. Whether through sports, academics, or the arts, these shared experiences challenge our students to grow as global citizens.

At IPS, we believe that education extends far beyond the four walls of a classroom. While academic excellence is a cornerstone of our curriculum, we are equally committed to nurturing compassionate, globally-minded citizens. One of the most tangible ways we bring these values to life is through our long-standing partnership with the Soup Kitchen Maria de Nazaré.
