Oeiras International School (OIS) is an IB World School [1] in Oeiras, a suburb of Lisbon, Portugal.
Established in 2010, the English-speaking school offers the International Baccalaureate program throughout all year groups. The school caters for students in Year 6 through to Year 13, having previously hosted only students in Years 7 through 12 during its inaugural academic year (2010/11).[2]
The school campus is based on the premises of a 17th-century palace,[2] [3] the Quinta de Nossa Senhora da Conceição in Barcarena, Oeiras. The 5 hectare campus was newly refurbished in 2011.[2] During its inaugural year (2010/2011), the school opened at temporary premises, located at Fundição de Oeiras,[4] [5] but has since been located at its present campus.[2]
OIS has ambitious plans to become an tensor Eco-School and intends to promote Environmental Awareness and Social Responsibility with the provision of scholarships and community service.[6] [7]
The school motto is Sapere Aude (Dare to Learn).[2]
