About this program
HYPHA International School is an innovative international school nestled in the Sintra-Cascais National Park in Portugal, offering a unique blend of evidence-based academics and nature immersion. The school's mission is to empower learners to reach their greatest potential through a whole-child approach that honors children's rights to play, be in nature, pursue their own interests, and collaborate in their own learning. What sets HYPHA apart is its deep commitment to nature-based education, with students spending an average of 3 hours daily exploring and learning outdoors in the national park setting. The school combines Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and forest school methodologies with inquiry-based learning to foster critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and environmental stewardship. Located at Rua Dr. Sa Carneiro 80 in Colares, Sintra, the school provides a warm, nurturing environment with extensive green spaces where children develop holistic connections to themselves, each other, and the natural world.
