CLIP is a co-educational, all-through school with 1,200 students located in Porto and adds to the Dukes Education presence in the UK, Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Ireland, Poland, Romania, Spain and Switzerland. CLIP becomes Dukes Education’s sixth school in Portugal.
The new partnership with Dukes Education opens up an array of benefits for the CLIP community that includes access to a global talent pool of exceptional educators, opportunities for student and teacher exchanges, and a platform for sharing best practice on an international scale. The collaboration offers CLIP’s students and staff unprecedented learning and development opportunities.
Founder and Chairman of Dukes Education, Aatif Hassan, whose passion for the transformational power of education, and whose commitment to educational quality and student wellbeing is at the heart of the Dukes Education ethos, said, “CLIP’s vision to become an exemplary centre for teaching and learning, which nurtures and develops open-minded and creative individuals, accords strongly with the values of Dukes Education, the organisation I founded 10 years ago. Dukes Education and CLIP both see the potential for young people to lead extraordinary lives – equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century, through innovation, international mindedness, academic excellence and resilience.”
Francisco Marques, CLIP’s CEO, said, “Our new partnership with Dukes Education will benefit the whole CLIP community. We believe in ambitious goals for all of our students and joining with Dukes Education will create even more exceptional opportunities and outcomes for them. Our child-focused approach will remain at the centre of everything we do.”
