We believe that education is about much more than imparting knowledge, it is about shaping individuals who can think independently, act responsibly and build their own future.

At Colégio Monte Maior, we value an education that combines academic excellence with personal development, preparing every student for the challenges of a constantly changing world.

Unique experiences and skills

Being a teacher at an ISP school means more than teaching: it also involves taking an active role in projects that bring value to students and teachers alike.

A sense of being at home

CMM represents home to me. I joined the school when I was three months old and stayed until my final year of school, Year 12, so I can say that it had a profound impact on my development. I believe that everything I experienced at CMM greatly enriched me as a person.

I was a student at CMM. Today, as a teacher, returning to teach at this school is special.

Much of who I am I owe to the people who shared this space with me. I now want to replicate what I learned and lived here, to contribute to the future of the new generation.

A sense of belonging

For me, CMM has always meant home: a place where I felt comfortable and where I wanted to be.

Excellent sports facilities

Choosing the school we attend is about much more than looking at its performance in national exams. There are many other aspects to consider and, in my case, what continues to inspire me to this day is CMM’s commitment to sport.
