Moving to a new country is a big step—especially when children are involved. One of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right school for your child. Portugal is a beautiful, welcoming country with an excellent quality of life, and it’s no surprise that more and more families from abroad are choosing to call it home.

Portugal’s international community continues to grow, with new data showing which foreign nationalities are choosing the country most. Brazil leads by a wide margin, followed by strong communities from Angola, Cape Verde, the UK, India, Italy, Guinea-Bissau, Nepal, China, and France. Together, these groups reflect Portugal’s unique mix of Lusophone roots and global appeal.
