For a panoramic view of the field of international schools in greater Lisbon
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present article maps the international schools in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, based on both a bibliographical review at international level and a preliminary empirical study in this region. These steps, while focusing on the analysis of documents and interviews with school directors, contributed, on the one hand, to identify existing schools, which adopt the designation of «international schools». On the other hand, to analyse key elements such as the date of foundation, location, links to international organisations, syllabus and diplomas, mission, and stated objectives of existing schools. Based on these elements, a typology of international schools is proposed and avenues of further research are suggested.
