How do we define Prime Boarding? The Prime School's boarding school is a student residence where students reside on the premises. Our residence offers the common amenities of "room and board," including accommodation and meals 7 days a week. Our students who reside in our boarding facilities are enrolled in our schools in Lisbon and Cascais and study on these campuses. They live with their classmates, teachers, or support staff during the academic year. Our campuses accommodate students who attend our institutions during the day and return home in the evenings.
