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.

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.
