History

Circa 1998 the school occupied a campus in central Macau that had been designed by a well-known Portuguese architect. Cathryn H. Clayton, the author of '' Sovereignty at the Edge: Macau & the Question of Chineseness'', wrote that compared to most schools in Macau, the Liceu's class sizes were small. She added that the faculty received good salaries and benefits and that the campus was among the most lavish and expensive to maintain. A large percentage of the students matriculated to universities with the majority moving on to European institutions, including those in Portugal itself. Clayton concluded that the school "reflected the conditions of advantage enjoyed by the Portuguese in Macau". The school's administration chose not to directly teach the history of Macau, although some teachers chose to incorporate that history within their history lessons.Clayton, Cathryn H. '' Sovereignty at the Edge: Macau & the Question of Chineseness'' (Volume 324 of Harvard East Asian monographs, ISSN 0073-0483).
