HYPHA International School

Welcome to HYPHA International School!

Nestled in the beautiful Sintra-Cascais Natural Park in Portugal, HYPHA International School is a special place where children can learn and grow surrounded by nature. Our school offers a unique educational experience that blends the wonders of the outdoors with academic learning, making every day an adventure!

Our Approach to Learning

At HYPHA, we believe in nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and heart. Our teaching methods draw inspiration from Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Forest School philosophies, ensuring that each child develops in a balanced and holistic way.

Personalized Education

We provide a student-centered education that is recognized around the world. Using the Cambridge International Curriculum, we guide our students through their primary education in a way that respects their individual needs and interests.

Language and Age Groups

Our main language of instruction is English, but we also immerse our students in Portuguese, helping them become confident in both languages. We welcome children from ages 3 to 10, with our pre-primary program for ages 3-5 and primary education for ages 5-10.

Engaging Learning Experiences

At HYPHA, we focus on inquiry-based and project-based learning. This means that children are encouraged to ask questions, explore, and solve problems, fostering their critical thinking skills in a fun and engaging way.
