CIV offers its students a rich and diverse cultural environment, an educational programme focused on the development of cognitive and socio-affective abilities, in an international and multilingual environment. The educational teams consist of highly qualified and experienced professionals, promoting academic progress and excellence. The Portuguese Studies follow the national curriculum, and the English Studies follow the British National Curriculum (adapted) and the Cambridge International Curriculum (Primary Checkpoint, Secondary Checkpoint, IGCSE, AS Level and A Level) is followed. At CIV we believe that students are the leaders of their own learning, therefore the educational team establishes strategies to assist each child to achieve academic and personal excellence.
