Moving to Portugal
Moving with children: schools before property
Start with everyday life
Test school journeys at actual arrival and collection times. A short map distance may still produce difficult daily logistics.
Compare school options
Portugal has preschool, three stages of basic education and secondary education. Ask the school about enrolment, placement and language support for a child arriving from abroad. Private and international schools should confirm availability, curriculum and fees directly.
Prepare the application
Request the required documents, previous school records and any translations. Check the official enrolment portal and the school before choosing a home on the assumption that a place is available. Confirm municipal school transport eligibility separately.
