It rewards the work developed by schools in the field of environmental education and sustainability.  <\/p>\n<p>We are a multicultural and inclusive school. We develop a caring and awareness-raising education for different cultures of the world, building bridges to an open and tolerant mindset that prepares children to be active participants in a globalised and rapidly changing world.<br \/>We have an English project that values \u200b\u200bearly bilingual Portuguese English learning.

Knowing and being able to use the available technological tools, their multiple instruments and applications, becomes an increasingly important resource in the students&#8217; journey, at an academic, personal and, in the future, professional level. <\/p>\n<p>But, equally important, is understanding its risks and challenges. Aware of this, and for a technological education appropriate to the school&#8217;s Educational Project, we rely on the contribution of reference partnerships in STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) &#8211; an integrated model of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, participated in by students, which promotes the creation of a knowledge base applicable to real life. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide image=&#8221;https:\/\/escolapatiodaines.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/arte.jpg&#8221; admin_title=&#8221;O valor da Arte e da Literatura&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_transition=&#8221;on&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"slider-headline\">What distinguishes us<\/h5>\n<h3 class=\"slider-title\">The Value of Art and Literature<\/h3>\n<p>Art education as a Psychopedagogical foundation is valuable.
