School-reported facts; source links are provided below.

Research connects subjects at CLIP

CLIP Oporto International School adapts the National Curriculum for England for its community in Porto. Its teaching model uses conceptual learning, asking students to connect ideas across subjects rather than treating each subject as an isolated body of facts.

In middle school, Learning Through Research is a named part of the programme that brings inquiry and subject knowledge together. The curriculum pages also describe formative assessment and feedback intended to guide the next steps in learning. During a visit, ask to see examples from the relevant year group and discuss how an incoming child’s language needs are supported.

Application and budget details

On 15 September 2026, the admissions page stated that applicants for the listed 2026/2027 entry years were being waitlisted. New pupils are not normally accepted into Forms 10 and 12 because these finish the IGCSE and A Level cycles. Siblings and children of alumni receive preference; other offers depend on application order, assessment and places. Paying the non-refundable pre-registration fee does not guarantee entry. English is used in every year group, with EAL support available. Check live availability directly before making relocation plans.
