Lisbon

Montessori Bright Academy is located in Lisbon, a cross cultural city, opened to the world, with the ocean as a playground. This world carrefour has a rich cultural, intellectual and artistic history. Rumor has it that the city was the home of the first marine academy, Navegantes, created by Christophe Colomb. This academy was a training center for the best sailors in the world and the starting point of what our interconnected world looks like today. Lisbon also embodies resilience, turning adversity into opportunity. From a city in ruins in 1755 after one of the deadliest earthquakes in history, Lisbon was rebuilt on the most modern architecture principles and practices of the time, with the construction of big squares and widened streets to match the then king’s vision of a new and perfectly ordered city.

our academy

Montessori Bright Academy Lisbon (MBA Lisbon) is a private Montessori school that prides itself on providing an authentic Montessori education. With great honor, MBA warmly welcomed its first families in September 2021.

Over the first two years, our school in Campolide had been a cherished space for learning and growth. However, as our community expanded and our vision blossomed, we realized the need for a change. With enthusiasm and anticipation, we embarked on a journey to find a new home that would offer us the space and opportunities to fully embody our dreams and mission.

Since September 2023, MBA has found its new abode and is now located in one of the greenest areas of the city. Our new location provides ample space for students to explore, learn, and thrive. The lush surroundings offer exciting opportunities for outdoor activities and leisure, perfectly complementing the enriching life at MBA.

Location: Avenida Almirante Gago Coutinho, 141, Alvalade, Lisbon.
