Accreditations and Certifications

PaRK IS is certified by the Portuguese Ministry of Education to operate as a school in Portugal and offer both the Portuguese curriculum and the International curriculum.

PaRK IS is a member of the Cambridge Schools Network, with over 10,000 schools in more than 160 countries. In order to join this elite academic organisation, we had to prove that we have an extremely strong desire to provide our students with the knowledge and skills to become active global citizens. We have also demonstrated the highest level of commitment to offering the best quality international education. We are therefore certified to offer the Cambridge international curriculum, including the Key Stages, IGCSE and A Levels.

PaRK IS is certified by Pearson – Pearson Edexcel International GCSEs are globally recognised qualifications with academic content and assessment designed specifically for international students. These qualifications have been designed in collaboration with subject experts, teachers and university professors, to ensure that the content and assessment methods are appropriate and will enable successful progression for learners. Each year, part of our IGCSE exams at PaRK IS is Pearson Edexcel.

PaRK International School is an IB World School teaching the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme for Grades 11 and 12.

IB World Schools share a common philosophy – a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high-quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision. The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end, the IB Organisation works with schools, governments and international organisations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners.
