Tuition 2020-2021 Academic Year
Essentials Included: The TASIS Difference
Healthy meals and snacks, prepared fresh every day. Professionally supervised care both before and after school, to accommodate busy schedules. Yoga and movement. Books, labs, workbooks, and instructional materials. Field trips, clubs, and sports.*
At TASIS, we don't consider these things "extras," we consider them essentials, so they are all included in our yearly tuition. It's our way of providing you with the peace of mind you expect when you entrust us with the care and education of your child.
TASIS Care: About Our Student/Teacher Ratio
All TASIS classes have a maximum of 22 students. Every PK - 3rd grade student has two qualified full-time teachers per class. Beginning in fourth grade, your child will have one primary teacher, plus specialty teachers who are subject matter experts in Singapore Math, foreign language, science, and more.
* Of course, additional things you elect to do, such as non-required trips, private music lessons, equestrian lessons, etc. come with extra fees.

Scholarships
The TASIS Foundation Scholarship Program
Please note the Scholarship Program for 2020-2021 has closed.
TASIS Portugal seeks to be an intentional learning community that resembles the diverse world in which we live and to welcome students from all backgrounds. This program is intended to attract the students best suited and prepared for a TASIS education who reside in the greater Lisbon area, and to make it possible for families without sufficient financial resources to send their children to TASIS Portugal.
We are thrilled to be able to offer this advantage to a wide range of families and exceptional students who want to enjoy a beautiful campus, dedicated teachers from around the world, and a classical education focusing on character development and academic excellence.
Scholarships up to a maximum of 50% of the published yearly tuition will be awarded to deserving students who wish to enroll based on demonstrated need, as well as on a student’s ability to benefit from and contribute to TASIS Portugal’s unique academic and extracurricular programs.
This program is endowed by the nonprofit TASIS Foundation, the governing and fiduciary organization for all TASIS schools, and administered by the TASIS admission team.
Application Process:
· Students must have a permanent residence in Portugal.
· Families must complete the regular application process and qualify for admission to TASIS Portugal before being considered for a scholarship.
· In addition to the standard application process, families must complete the TASIS Foundation Scholarship Application Form and provide details of personal financial circumstances (see download below), which will be evaluated by a third party accounting firm and reviewed by the TASIS Portugal admission team.
· TASIS Portugal, like most international schools around the world and in Portugal, has a rolling admission policy. Admission decisions are made continuously as applications are completed.
· TASIS Portugal will review scholarship applicants once a month.
· Admission decisions are separate from scholarship decisions. A candidate may be offered admission, but not a scholarship award.

Projected Tuition
We've heard from families that they have fears that the tuition we've published for TASIS Portugal's inaugural year is going to skyrocket for future grades in future years. We can assure you that this is not the case.
In order to allay these fears, we have created a projected tuition chart for all grades at TASIS Portugal, below. While this chart is an excellent reference, please be aware that some fluctuations may be possible in future years, but other than slight yearly increases, we do not anticipate any significant changes to this tuition model.
Please contact us with any questions in regards to our future tuition model. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible with families.
