At SAIS – Santo António International School, our culture is founded on the belief that education should nurture the whole person — mind, heart, and spirit. From the early years in Primary to the challenges of A Levels, pupils are encouraged to think deeply, act kindly, and lead with empathy in every classroom, learning becomes more than study — it is a living dialogue between cultures, ideas, and values.
This dialogue helps our students grow into confident, thoughtful global citizens, ready to shape a brighter world. Our daily life at SAIS is built upon the engagement of our complete community — our complete SAIS Family. For that same reason, our pupils, parents and staff alike are our most valuable asset. They are the ones that are the building blocks of our tapestry and definitely set the tone of everything we do in our school.
Our latest challenge is our new primary Campus III.
It is located a mere 5 minute walk away from our main site Campus I. This is a purposely renovated building that has previously hosted another international school. It is with a full heart that we have placed our educational IB architectural vision together in order to provide what is best for our younger pupils — from Nursery to year learning!
At Campus III, SAIS will now welcome younger siblings as well to the Nursery Years children as young as two years old. Children as young as two years old will now have a specialised section with mud baths included! They will also be connected to our Primary and Preparatory Pupils all the way up to Year 7. We could not be more excited to share this new journey with our SAIS Family!
We care, we get involved, we belong together — it is our mission to know each individual, each family and ultimately each SAIS Story. From founding members, current pupils and alumni alike we are all an important part of our SAIS Pathway. Some have shaped the way for others; some have served as beacons of light and guidance for many that have also just passed through.
This is who we are, this is what we do, without fear, with resilience, perseverance and an amazing sense of accomplishment and duty, that we are all shaping our future on this earth, by contributing and making a stand in our own communities wherever we may go.
Wherever we go, no matter how far — SANTO ANTÓNIO WHO WE ARE!
