Boarding at Prime.
A home away from home.
A residence inside our Lisbon campus, where a named house parent knows your child, supervised prep protects the academic day, and boarding feels personal rather than institutional. Full boarding for pupils from Year 9 to Year 13.
A Lisbon boarding home for ambitious futures.
Our Boarding House in Lisbon offers a well-rounded British international education, leading to globally recognised qualifications that prepare students for admission to leading universities around the world.
Students benefit from outstanding teaching, modern learning environments, personalised academic support, and a rich programme of extracurricular and enrichment opportunities designed to help them achieve their full potential. From STEM and entrepreneurship to sports, arts and leadership, every learner is encouraged to develop their talents, broaden their horizons, and pursue ambitious goals.
With 24/7 care from our experienced boarding team, full boarding provides a safe, welcoming, and family-like environment where students thrive both academically and personally. Living alongside an international community, they develop independence, resilience, adaptability, creativity, leadership, and compassion, while building lifelong friendships and the confidence, skills, and global outlook needed for success at university and in their future careers.
Level 2 e Level 3

Known, supervised and supported.
Boarding only works when parents trust the detail. These six commitments shape every evening, weekend and settling-in conversation.
One adult who lives on site and knows your child personally, present morning and night, every day of the boarding week.
On-call medical support, school psychology and clear escalation when a pupil needs more than routine care.
A calm, structured study period each evening, with academic guidance close by and phones away when focus matters.
Regular, honest communication with families, especially in the first weeks and whenever something needs saying early.
The residence sits inside the Lisbon campus, with controlled access, supervision and the school team close at hand.
New boarders receive an induction, a buddy and careful follow-up. Arrival is only the beginning of belonging.
Everything a boarder needs, day to day.
Boarding fees are designed to be clear. Accommodation, meals, care, prep and daily essentials are included, so families can plan with confidence.
