Colégio Internacional Infanta D. Maria de Portugal

College Internacional Infanta D. Maria de Portugal is an international school located in Sintra, Lisbon, Portugal. The school was established in 2005 when it obtained its official license from the Ministry of Education.[1] International School Colégio Infanta D. Maria de Portugal is an international bi-lingual school. International School College Infanta D. Maria de Portugal has an emphasis on Portuguese education and follows a modified version of the Cambridge curriculum and prepares students for IGCSE and A-level examinations. All IGCSE subjects are based on the Cambridge University curriculum. Admission to the school is dependent on a successful interview and entry examination. Founded in 2005 and a private fee-paying school, it has been run since 2006 by a Board of Governors composed of teachers. Children from the ages of 3 to 18 enjoy an exceptional education. The school operates with the internationally recognised[1] and demanding Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level programme of study. This programme offers a broad choice of curriculum and has a reputation for developing successful students.[2] International School College Infanta D. Maria de Portugal has integrated the teaching of the national language and culture into their curriculum, with a department of dedicated and qualified English speakers faculty. Portuguese language lessons are now mandatory at the younger levels with children taking these classes divided into groups according to their linguistic skill level. This will increase the opportunity for those attending the school to leave it fully bi-lingual. Portuguese children at the school, meanwhile, achieve an education in English while still being able to learn their own language and literature in accordance with the Portuguese Education Ministry programme. It is also an accredited University of Cambridge Examinations Centre. In 2007 it received planning permission to build Portugal's first bi-lingual primary school which delivers some subjects in Portuguese and English. Most classes are taught in English and some in Portuguese. The bilingual concept took two years to devise and formed the basis of a Masters in International Education dissertation by its director, Carlos Miguel Sousa Almeida.

Sintra Mountains
Sintra Mountains

The Sintra Mountains (Portuguese: Serra de Sintra), is a mountain range in western Portugal. Its highest point is at 529 meters (1,736 ft) near Sintra. The range covers about 16 kilometers (10 mi) from the resort town of Sintra to Cabo da Roca (Cape Roca) on the Atlantic Ocean. It was known to the Ancient World as Lunae Mons (mountain of the Moon) and was the legendary retreat of Diana the Huntress (known as Cynthia to the Romans, from the Greek Κύνθια, hence Çintra).It has a rich fauna, foxes, genet, moles, salamanders, peregrine falcons, vipers and various species of scaly reptiles. Its climate is temperate with many oceanic influences and hence presents a higher rainfall than the remaining area of Lisbon. It also has a unique vegetation. About nine hundred plant species are indigenous, ten percent of which are endemic. Namely oak, cork oak and pine wood. It is the target of several sightseeing tours. It is also visited by climbing and mountaineering practitioners, since the slopes are mostly oriented to the west, which increases the length of light in summer afternoons. In it are located: the Moorish Castle, the Pena Palace, the Capuchin Convent, the Sintra National Palace, the Palace of Monserrate and the Quinta da Regaleira. Since long ago it has been a place full of myths and legends about supernatural activities and ones without obvious explanation. In 2009 a Portuguese television channel created a television series Lua Vermelha based on the supernatural environment that lived in Sintra. The story, set in a college in the middle of the mountain tells of an impossible love between a vampire and a human girl, but she also had supernatural powers, discovered throughout the episodes.
