Marta Filipe:
“Sapienti International School played a very important role in my journey as both a student and a football player. Before moving to Lisbon to pursue my dream of playing football, I had always studied in international schools, so continuing my education in an international environment was very important to me.
At the time, I was playing at Benfica, which meant that my training sessions, games, and travel often made it difficult to follow a traditional school schedule. Sapienti understood these high demands and worked with me to create a schedule that allowed me to attend all of my classes while still being able to fully commit to my football career.
What made my experience at Sapienti even more special was the way everyone treated me. From the beginning, they made me feel welcomed, supported, and at home. I never felt like I was just another student.
Being able to combine my education with my football career taught me so much about discipline, responsibility, time management, and commitment.
I am extremely grateful to Sapienti International School for the support they gave me. The flexibility, understanding, and personal support I received helped me become a better student and athlete, and gave me the foundation to continue my journey in the United States.
Sapienti will always be a special part of my journey because it was a place where I truly felt understood, supported, and at home.”
