CJD International School Porto is the international wing of Colégio Júlio Dinis — one of Porto's most respected private Portuguese schools, founded in 1934 and named after the celebrated 19th-century Porto writer Júlio Dinis. The international programme opened in 2023/24, making CJD Porto's newest international school. It is part of Dukes Education, an established international education group. The school delivers the full Cambridge International pathway from ages 3 to 18 — Cambridge Early Years, Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE and A-Levels — entirely in English. Students from 50+ countries attend. Fees of €9,300–€11,000/year make it one of the most affordable English-medium options in Porto. The Paranhos location is near the University of Porto and Hospital São João. The school's values of respect, responsibility and resilience reflect its Portuguese roots, and the 90-year community relationships in Porto give it a distinctive character that newer international schools typically lack.
