Projects that enrich education in Alvalade
Alvalade is one of Lisbon’s most complete neighbourhoods for families seeking quality living, with excellent services, schools and extracurricular activities. Beyond a robust educational network, from preschool to secondary school, there is an ecosystem of educational projects promoted by the Parish Council that extends learning far beyond the classroom. From sports to the arts, these education projects in Alvalade are free to join and developed in partnership with local clubs and schools.
Curricular Swimming Project for Kindergartens
Since 2014, children attending public kindergartens in Alvalade have benefited from free curricular swimming classes. The aim is to diversify motor activities in early childhood, promote adaptation to the aquatic environment and develop autonomy safely, fully integrating swimming into the educational process. For families, this project means structured learning with no extra cost and clear benefits for children’s health and psychomotor development.
Cycling School
In partnership with Coelhinhos – Escola Clube de Ciclismo de Lisboa, the Cycling School began in 2014 for 1st-cycle pupils and was later extended to preschool children. Activities take place together with the participating schools and their educational groups, encouraging active mobility, balance and coordination, always free of charge for pupils in public education. This project is a practical step towards healthy habits and urban citizenship.
Art Education Project
In the 2018/2019 school year, Alvalade launched the Art Education Project for public kindergartens, offering music classes focused on enjoyment, practice and composition. By integrating music into the curriculum, the project strengthens creativity, expression and aesthetic sensitivity from an early age. Skills that shape how children communicate and collaborate.
Junior Sports Programme
The Parish Council sees schools as ideal spaces for children to explore a wide variety of sports, in partnership with local clubs and associations. The Junior Sports Programme, implemented yearly in public schools, offers activities during lunchtime and includes Physical Education classes in kindergartens. The Sports Workshops, also free, form part of this programme, offering numerous activities such as handball, athletics, basketball, yoga, judo, skating, skateboarding, table tennis, chess and zumba, for pupils from primary through secondary education.
Schools Connected to the Community
Alvalade is served by school clusters with strong educational vision, mission and strategies focused on academic success and community engagement. The Alvalade School Group highlights its diverse academic offer and local partnerships, reflecting a neighbourhood where sports, cultural and educational projects work together to enhance learning and wellbeing. For residents, education in Alvalade means continuity, stability and complementary opportunities beyond the classroom.
