Description

Our school in Lisbon is ideally located in the city centre near just minutes away from Saldanha Square. It has 12 well-equipped classrooms, Internet cafe and student study room. Lessons are given by fully qualified native Portuguese teachers, in groups of a maximum of 8 students. As well as Portuguese courses, our school offers 'Portuguese Gastronomy and Portuguese for teachers' classes.

The activities available include beach trips, river cruises, guided tours and excursions to nearby towns and cities. This cultural program helps students who are learning Portuguese in Lisbon to practise out of class the Portuguese language that they learn on their Portuguese course, so that they learn as much Portuguese as possible in the time available to them.

Lessons are held in our centrally located school in 'mini groups' of a maximum of 8 students per class. Courses are always taught by a fully-qualified native Portuguese teacher. Students can stay with one of the school's carefully selected Portuguese host families who all live centrally in Lisbon.
