Colégio Luso Internacional de Braga

Dear Members of the CLIB Community and Visitors,

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the Braga International School (CLIB). Founded in 1999, CLIB’s mission is to provide a balanced and relevant high-quality education to the Portuguese and international community of Braga. As a leading educational institution, we are dedicated to nurturing curious minds, fostering academic excellence, and building a community rooted in mutual respect, service, and intercultural understanding.

The Lower School (3 -9 years) and the Early Upper School (10 – 13 years) curriculum are based on the English National Curriculum modified to suit an international clientele. The Upper School (14-18 years) prepares students for the Cambridge IGCSE examinations and the AICE Diploma (AS and A2 level examinations).

Our pupils will acquire equivalency at both a National and International level permitting them to make the transition from our system of education to the National System and to progress to universities both nationally and internationally. English is the language of teaching and learning and its use, fluency and accuracy are promoted to the fullest extent.

Our school is a place where every student is embraced and celebrated, regardless of their abilities. We are committed to providing an inclusive environment that nurtures growth, encourages diversity, and ensures that every individual has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to our vibrant community.

We believe education is not just about knowledge acquisition but also about character development and a commitment to making a difference in the world. Our rigorous academic programmes are complemented by meaningful opportunities for students to engage in service to the community. These experiences empower our students to develop a sense of responsibility, empathy, and the ability to effect positive change – values that will guide them throughout their lives.

In today’s interconnected world, interculturality is at the heart of everything we do. Situated in the historically rich and culturally diverse city of Braga, CLIB is a dynamic learning hub where students from various cultural backgrounds come together. We celebrate this diversity as an essential element of our identity, creating a vibrant community where different perspectives, traditions, and experiences enrich every aspect of school life.

Our students’ safety is a priority and as a consequence, CLIB is a closed campus. There is a strong extra-curricular programme including social development, sports and performing arts. On the school premises, the highest priority is placed on health, safety and security.

Whether you are a prospective family, a current member of our community, or simply exploring what we offer, I encourage you to visit and delve into the unique ethos, spirit, values and mission that drive our school. You will discover more about our innovative programmes, exceptional faculty, and the opportunities that make learning at CLIB an extraordinary experience.

We warmly invite you to join us in shaping a future built on academic excellence, meaningful service, and a profound appreciation for the richness of intercultural understanding.

About
CJD International School

Colégio Júlio Dinis (CJD) is a private school located in the city of Porto, Portugal. The school was founded in 1934, one of the oldest schools in Portugal, with a vision to provide quality education to children in Porto. The school was named after Júlio Dinis, a prominent 19th-century Portuguese writer, who had close ties to the city of Porto. It started as a small school with a handful of students and a team of passionate educators. Over the years, CJD has grown and evolved and, today, it is recognized as a leading educational institution in the region.

At CJD, we have always believed in providing a holistic education that nurtures not just the educational growth of our students but also their personal and social development. We are proud to have produced successful alumni, who have excelled in various fields and made significant contributions to society.

As we move forward, our commitment to providing a world-class education remains unwavering. We are excited to embark on this journey with our international component, which will offer the Cambridge curriculum. We believe that this will enable us to provide an even more enriching and diverse learning experience for our students.

About
International Sharing School

International Sharing School aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and open-minded lifelong learners who aspire to build a better tomorrow, through a supportive, respectful, and caring environment promoting learning through sharing.
