what we believe for our students

At Sharing School we believe in Learning Through Sharing to build a better future

We inspire and respect each of our students for their individuality, understanding how they feel more confident and comfortable in their learning process, sharing and feeding our core values.

Sharing is:

Caring about one-self, caring about others and caring about the environment. The development of Care can be achieved through hands-on activities such as the care-taking of other living beings or by cultivating ecosystems, planting and harvesting food responsibly and developing a sustainable mindset. Most of all, caring seeing and being seen – where everyone helps, trusts, and looks after each other, giving the necessary confidence and empowering students.

Our multilingual and multicultural students and the focus of cultural interaction and global citizenship is at the heart of ISS. Sharing is also about being inclusive, accepting and enriching ourselves with our differences, sharing what makes us special and building a new common identity. This crucial value can be seen throughout all the learning environments at ISS.

Showing generosity and companionship to your fellow students and the surrounding community is an important ability to learn as young. The focus on hospitality also helps to emphasize the sense of belonging through empowerment and shared resources, also developing a familiar feeling within the school.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU

Frequently Asked Questions

Before you send your message, we can help with some answers to the most frequently asked questions. We hope these help you decide to join our school community.

I’m not fluent in English. How can I communicate with the school?2022-10-24T11:13:12+01:00

As a multicultural community with 60 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?2022-10-24T11:15:10+01:00

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 already have a background in English, even though they may not be fluent. Sharing School developed an English Boosting Programme to help students to improving their knowledge of English. In Order to join Grade 10 and above, students need to be fully proficient in English.

My child has learning difficulties. Can he/she apply?2022-10-24T11:17:05+01:00

Our school is not a Special Needs School, but it is an Inclusive School. We have a Wellbeing Department which consist of Psychologists, Special Education 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.

Can students enrol during the school year?2022-10-24T11:17:40+01:00

Yes, we have year-round enrolments up to Grade 10. Due to the academic requirements of the final year of the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP), we cannot accept students for Grade 10 and DP after the start of the school year.
