Our Learning Hubs in
Spain and Portugal
A day at NYsKOOL Learning Hub
The day is full of games, projects and other group activities. Children will have meaningful discussions, scientific projects and hands-on activities like building a rocket or an ecosystem. Every day children will spend time outside socialising, playing sports and learning about nature.
They will interact and collaborate with children from other Learning Hubs around the globe. Some time will be left for individual learning supported by NYsKOOL teachers.
Children can be dropped off and collected at any time during the day.

Lisbon Learning Hub
Our Learning Hub is centrally located in Campolide near the university with grean areas and walking distace to two parks - Jardim da Amnistia Internacional and Jardim Amália Rodrigues. Five minutes’ walk from NYsKOOL is a small garden with sports facilities. We plan to utilize these outdoor spaces for both study and play often!
The school premises will be designed for curiosity and collaboration. This will include shared spaces over work tables, quiet areas for mindfulness and study, a small library, and cinema room for educational videos and screenings of student work.
We plan to invite the university students to do masterclasses and inspirational talks to our students. They have a diverse array of departments including law, chemistry, science and technology, social studies, business, medicine, biology, and public health.
Parents will particularly benefit from our co-working space in the building, available for a nominal fee. This is perfect for those who wish to stay onsite and work while their children learn. Additionally, we welcome parent volunteers to engage directly with our classrooms, fostering a strong community connection and involvement in your child’s education.
Sesimbra Learning Hub
NYsKOOL has partnered with FOZ school located in the National Reserve in Sesimbra.
The school is embedded in a Natural Reserve close to the ocean, benefiting from high air quality. We have a generous natural playground as well as an organic vegetable garden and orchard built largely by the students and teachers, applying principles of regenerative practices. Organic, sugar-free, balanced menu available at a fair cost.
We commit to be as sustainable as possible: grey water re-usage, limiting waste, recycling, using regenerative energy sources, and living and learning in harmony with nature.
