Colegio S.C.M. provides the Basic Education to children from 5th to 9th grade

(10-15-year-olds) with a curriculum based on the Portuguese Education System.

Colegio Sagrado Coração de Maria is a

non-profit Catholic Educational School, integrated

in the Portuguese National Education System.

It is identified as belonging to the RSHM network

and has a lay leadership (director).

It is recognised by the Portuguese Ministry of

Education and has pedagogical autonomy

according to the Private and Co-operative

Education Statute (Estatuto do Ensino Particular e

Cooperativo), which gives legal rights, financial aid

and defines the State’ s role in controlling the

quality of the education offered.

OUR EDUCATION PROPOSAL The future of the world belongs to the young generations, who were

born in the last century but will grow up in the XXI century.

We must help them to acquire skills and values, in order to build a

respectable place in a society strongly characterized by technological

and scientific knowledge, while promoting their global identity.

Being a "Catholic School" means having a public proposal, similar to

public schools, so that the families can choose freely the kind of

education/ instruction they want to give to their children.

Internally, we - the educational community - intend to build up a

relational style, increase collaboration among the different members of

the educational community (students, parents, teachers and non

teaching staff) that enables a true learning environment and a qualified education.
