Full Time, Permanent

9 December 2024

**Job overview**:
This Founding Head of Primary opportunity is one of huge potential and interest. The Lisboan is a new type of school in a stunningly-converted historic building in the heart of Lisbon. It is part of Artemis Education, a growing group that is setting out to transform the landscape of education by creating and operating innovative new schools. The Head of Primary will work closely with the Founding Principal as the two key educational leaders with responsibility for starting the school off in the best possible way.

The position requires a specialist who is passionate about the Early Years and Primary age range, excited by the opportunity to innovate and push past the constraints of most schools and their curricula, and committed to making a difference. The Founding Head of Primary will be responsible for establishing the traditions, values and ethos that will define the Primary School, and indeed the whole school, as a place where students and educators thrive. They will also align strongly with the distinguishing features of an Artemis school - a school that is deeply conscious of its social and environmental responsibilities and that works in constant partnership with its host community.

Located in the heart of Lisbon, The Lisboan will open with 300 students and grow to be a school for 1,200 students from Nursery to Year 13, blending the best of British education, the IBDP and Artemis’s future-focused approach to education. In the Primary School, English national curriculum standards will be integrated into the bespoke and thematic Dimensions curriculum. This curriculum is designed to reflect the environment of each school and the Head of Primary will help to shape it to the context of Lisbon and the school’s demographic. The academic curriculum throughout the school will be supported by a rich experiential programme that will use the city itself as a classroom. The school aims to become a hub of educational excellence, contributing to the city’s rich cultural and intellectual landscape. The founding leadership will therefore help to shape the future of education in one of Europe's most dynamic and vibrant capitals.

The Lisboan is dedicated to bringing a net-zero carbon education into the mainstream, reflecting a commitment to the future and a responsibility for the stewardship of the planet. Its core values - kindness, curiosity, connectedness resilience and integrity - will be underpinned by the distinctive BOA principles - Belong, Own, Act.

The position will commence in August 2025.

The Lisboan International School is a brand new school, forming part of Artemis Education’s family of schools. Artemis Education is a growing private international schools group with a mission to improve access to outstanding education.

Nestled in the vibrant Alcântara district of Lisbon, The Lisboan occupies the space of a former pasta factory, thoughtfully transformed to honour its heritage while fostering an engaging learning environment suitable for global citizens. Alcântara, an emerging district featuring offices, apartments, bars, and restaurants, is well-connected to the rest of Lisbon and neighbouring districts via an efficient public transport system and road network.

Lisbon is currently experiencing a period of rapid development, marked by the influx of foreign investment and a growing international community. While there are several international schools in the vicinity, The Lisboan stands out as one of the few situated within the city itself, offering a unique educational experience at the heart of Lisbon's evolving landscape.

The school´s curriculum will follow an enhanced version of the National Curriculum for England and Wales culminating with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

As important as academic results are the values for which we stand, which are embedded in all areas of school life. The “**BOA**” **principles (Boa is good in Portuguese)**:
