"Escola Lá Fora" has arrived in Estoril – A new way of learning in nature

We have great news for families around Cascais: "Escola Lá Fora" has opened in Estoril, a forest school that invites children to explore, learn, and grow in direct contact with nature.

Inspired by the model of forest schools from Northern Europe, Escola Lá Fora offers an innovative approach to education, where child development takes place outdoors in a safe, free environment filled with natural stimuli. Here, playing is a serious business – and learning too.

Why Estoril?

Estoril, with its privileged location between the mountains and the sea, provides the perfect backdrop for this project. Escola Lá Fora is located in a carefully selected natural space, ensuring safety, ecological diversity, and learning opportunities in every corner – whether it’s under the shade of trees, by small streams, or in sunny clearings.

An Invitation to Families

Escola Lá Fora is now open to all families seeking an education more connected to the natural world. We want to be a community space where children, educators, and families grow together with respect, freedom, and environmental awareness.

If you believe childhood deserves time, space, and nature, come meet us. Pre-registrations are open, and you can schedule a visit to the space.

Space Visits: Starting June 30
Location: Estoril
