Saint Julian's School is a British international private school, located in Carcavelos, in the Cascais Municipality, Portugal. ==Introduction, History== St. Julian's is an international private school located in the parish of Carcavelos e Parede, in Cascais, close to Lisbon, Portugal. , though it takes its name from the Forte de São Julião da Barra ((英語:Saint Julian's Fort of the Inlet)), overlooking nearby Carcavelos beach, originally erected in the mid-16th century to keep the British, among other raiders, out of the Tagus estuary. The school opened on November 25, 1932, on the site and in some of the buildings, including the Palace, of an 18th-century estate created by José Francisco da Cruz, Treasurer to King D. José I. At the time of the school's foundation, the palace and grounds were property of the British Eastern Telegraph Company, which had installed and maintained a system of submarine cables, transforming global communications systems. Telegraph employees introduced football to Portugal, playing on grounds which are still part of the school, shortly after the company arrived in the 1870s. The need for a school was recognised in the early 1930s, by which time many British employees with children worked for the company. Today St Julian's is run by a not-for-profit Association, whose members, as trustees, appoint the Board of Governors. This body meets once a month to discuss school business with the head and his leadership colleagues, and has a sole executive function, that of appointing a head teacher when necessary. Starting as a small school for some 23 British children, St Julian's soon began to attract Portuguese families and, from the time of WWII when neutral Lisbon hosted many refugees, it has always had an international element. Its most distinguished former pupil, the renowned Portuguese artist Paula Rego, entered St Julian's in 1945. Nowadays (2014) just over half the students are Portuguese, with British the next largest nationality, and more than 40 other countries represented. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint Julian's School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
