Introduction
Situated in Lisbon's Restelo district, L'École Trilingue serves pupils aged 2 to 11 with a trilingual immersion programme in English, French and Portuguese. The school follows the French curriculum for the Early Years Foundation Stage, organized around five areas of learning: language, physical and artistic expression, thinking and learning tools, and world exploration. Portuguese is taught daily for 30-45 minutes, and the school day is split between English and French instruction. The teaching is accredited by the French Ministry for Education and certified by the Portuguese Ministry, reflecting a cross-border partnership with France and Portugal and linking to the sister school in London. Housed in a refurbished 1940s building, classrooms are bright and arranged to support group work, personalised teaching, and sensorial exploration. A large garden supports biodiversity education and offers a Pre-nursery zone for 2-3 year olds. Breakfast and after-school care run beyond hours; offerings vary yearly in Lisbon.
