I am a former teacher who has just finished working for the ‘school’. My experience at this shit school was the worst professional experience I have ever had and I would like to share this with you so that you are not duped by this deceitful organisation. I also want to dedicate this site to all those teachers that were cheated, oppressed and bullied by the ‘school’. Before we begin, this school is NOT an international school.

My experience at this shit school was the worst professional experience I have ever had and I would like to share this with you so that you are not duped by this deceitful organisation. I also want to dedicate this site to all those teachers that were cheated, oppressed and bullied by the ‘school’. Before we begin, this school is NOT an international school. They have international teachers, with a thrown together IB curriculum but this company is all about money. • Administration The school is owned by 3 individuals who have shady reputations . The school is run by one of the owners who is at school every day, a vile woman Catarina Formigo. Lets just say it is a dictatorship where she enjoys the power she gets at the school. As the Portuguese culture is more dominated by men, this is the one place where she finds power, so I think she enjoys firing people on a whim and enjoys it when people grovel in her office. The woman does not have a clue about education or the progression of children. From what I have seen, the heads of the school fear this woman, they are afraid to make decisions on their own two feet and everything has to go through her. Recently she was described as a “visionary” for revamping the toilets – as if this will help in the academic attainment of the students. She suffers from a huge inferiority complex as anyone who upsets her whether it be parents, or staff, she always demands a written apology. • Racism I thought I would start off with this one. The school employs a huge mixture of nationalities including UK, and South Africa to name just a few. However, salaries are paid according to nationalities and not merit. Housing allowances are given to some and not others. Holiday pay seems to only be given to individuals who are related to ‘important’ people within the Portuguese community The Cascais Câmara (the local council in which the school lies) has prominent employees sending their children to this school. They do so paying staff school fees and it’s obviously in exchange for flouting local government regulations Catarina is also racist to various parent groups telling parents she was getting rid of the Brazilians, overcharging the Angolans and Chinese parents Females both parents and staff are often referred to bitches and whores as she often loses her temper and walks around the administration office screaming and ranting Coming to this school will also mean giving up the weekend and some of your evenings too. Once you signed for this school you are expected to do as you are told and work when and where they say, concept of weekend does not exist if Catarina says so. This school is run as a business, not a school. I don’t understand why the place has the word school in their title. Instead of St Dominics International School school it should be St Dominics International Cash Cow. • Some teachers do NOT hold teaching degrees and are not qualified I was mortified to find out that some teachers do not hold teaching qualifications and that they don’t even have degrees!!! yet the school claims everyone is highly qualified and this is a blatant lie to the ministry of education and the parents. Many parents have asked for teachers qualifications to be published on the website like other schools, but the school will never do this for this reason. • Threatening behaviour The school recently went through an accreditation. Before the accreditation teachers were told what to say and Richard Tangye made sure he was in the room next door to the Accreditation Team. He warns the teachers who he feels will be honest and vocal that the if they didn’t speak positively of the school during the meetings then expect your job to be on the line! • No school support with challenging behaviour This has to be the biggest worry for me. The behaviour at school was appalling, in fact it was the worst I had ever experienced during my professional career. Kids would be kids at the end of the day, but the expectations of support from the school was non-existent. You are alone in the classroom. When it goes bad in terms of behaviour it is YOUR fault and you are a bad teacher. • Blame teachers Working here I feel Richard , the Principal who is never present, and Michael who is completely incompetent have created a very poor atmosphere and moral within the staff. The administration of the school were never to blame, the children were never to blame and had no responsibility, but it was the teachers who were always in the firing line of blame. The moral was awful and teachers were treated as if they did not know what they were doing despite some staff having 20 years plus teaching experience. • High turnover of staff, staff runners There are countless staff that leave each year and mid year. I suspect none of the other international schools in Lisbon have a staff turnover as high as this school. I’ve met teachers from those schools and none of them are as unhappy as the staff at SDIS. There is NO professional development offered at this school. The school also provides no first aid or health and safety training to any staff members. There is no one at the school who will support you as a teacher. It’s a shit show from beginning to end. Being unemployed for a year would be a better option than taking a position at this school.

Money Looters If you send your child to this school, the only possible achievement you can hope for, is for them to scrape through the IB Diploma with a pass and the minimum points scored. Failing here is common. They fail on providing basic education, they care very little for students well being and safety, & are discriminatory and racist to certain nationalities. You can be sure that if the owner or any of her leadership are talking to you - you are being lied to. The only process that works well in this school is their banking. The busiest ...

Zero stars should be an option An absolute wreck of a "school". Exists only to squeeze money out of unsuspecting families, treats staff terribly and academics are appalling. Most of the good students know that this school is mediocre at best, which is why they leave. Entire School leadership is a joke. The Principal is incompetent and has achieved nothing in 5 years. He’s greatest achievement is turning this into the worst school in Lisbon Do not under any circumstances work here or send your children here.

This school is a trash school that just takes parents money and gives us a dirty squashed campus They does nothing for a good school environment. Everything is bad, the food , science labs, there is no good art or music rooms I feel that my education would have been better at even a local school . We spend our days frustrated with teachers who are also frustrated. English teachers who are Portuguese teachers who can’t speak very well to teach in English There is no respect , very miserable place The principals lie about the problems in t...

I see nothing at this school has changed since we left Portugal I had my children at this school for 3 years and can say the only positive Is the school has one or two staff who display care and warmth to the children. I was very concerned when i returned to our home country with glowing reports from SDIS only to discover that my children were way behind academically especially in Maths Talking to other parents who also moved countries and schools, all had the same experience. The children’s academics are lower than expected and all nee...

We cannot express how happy we are having our daughter in SDIS. She has been there since kindergarten to grade five, now starting grade six. We have had a very positive experience in this school: the students follow an amazing academic program and the teachers are very supportive and nurturing. Stuff and administration have shown our child genuine caring and compassion, all the while providing her with quality education. By watching our child response, we can tell teachers have truly interacted with her and touched her in some way. As matter o...
