The learning spaces of the future

Our flexible learning spaces have been designed to meet each student’s individual needs

Beyond having a student-centred curriculum, we have a student-centred school, organically designed with our students in mind.

Our school is designed to inspire creativity, collaboration, and personalised learning. The flexible learning spaces at Sharing School allow students to explore diverse areas, moving beyond traditional classrooms to embrace dynamic, multifunctional environments that encourage movement, play and curiosity.

“A child’s schooling provides a springboard to becoming a lifelong learner.”

– Carlien Shelley

Principal of Oeiras Valley Campus

“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”

– David Tigchelaar

Principal of Madeira Campus

Multicultural

With over 65 nationalities, our multilingual and multicultural student body embodies the spirit of cultural exchange and global citizenship.

Being multicultural means being inclusive, embracing our differences, enriching ourselves through them, and contributing to a shared identity that celebrates what makes us unique.

Hospitality

Showing generosity and companionship towards fellow students and the surrounding community is a crucial skill for our young learners.

Focusing on hospitality helps emphasize the sense of belonging through empowerment and shared resources, developing a welcoming and inclusive school community.

Care

Caring about oneself, caring about others and caring about the environment. The development of Care can be achieved through hands-on activities such as the looking after other living beings or by cultivating ecosystems, planting and harvesting food responsibly and developing a sustainable mindset.

Most importantly, creating an environment where everyone helps, trusts, and looks after each other, creates confidence and empowers students.

Our beliefs at Sharing School

We believe in Learning through Sharing to build a better future

We inspire and respect each student for their individuality, understanding how they gain confidence and comfort in their learning process, sharing and reinforcing our core values.

As a multicultural community with over 50 different nationalities, we are prepared to communicate with parents in English, Portuguese, Mandarin, Russian, German, French and Spanish. The school-parent communication via emails, online platforms, parent-teacher meetings, and events is in English, but we are available to support non-English-fluent parents in a language they feel more comfortable whenever possible.

My child doesn’t speak English. Can he/she apply?

Yes, depending on the grade level your child is joining. Although we recommend students have a good level of English, English fluency is not a mandatory prerequisite for admission in Primary School. To join Middle School, students should have a basic background in English, even though they may not be fluent. Sharing School developed an English Boosting Programme to help students improve their knowledge of English. In order to join Grade 10 and above, students need to be fully proficient in English.

Our school is not a Special Needs School, but it is an Inclusive School. We have a Wellbeing Department which consists of Psychologists, Special Educational Needs specialists and Pastoral Care. This department focuses on developing the social, emotional, and cognitive needs students may have. We have permanent full-time psychologists on-site to help students and families if needed. We prepare specific programs to cater for children with special education needs.
