Description:
Our school is located in the centre of Maceio, just a short walk from its spectacular beach.
The Portuguese language courses (20 or 30 lessons/week) have a maximum of just 5 students per class and are held mostly in the mornings. In addition to the Portuguese language program, our school also offers a variety of extra courses, such as Brazilian Cooking, Brazilian Dance, and Scuba Diving.
Students attending Portuguese courses at our school can choose to stay in carefully selected Brazilian host families, in Pousadas (inexpensive hotels) or in hotels. All accommodation, including the host families, is within easy walking distance of the school and the beach.
Our school in Maceio also provides an extensive cultural programme, including regular excursions to places of cultural, historic and ecological interest, such as the Murici Forest, the S. Franciso River, the historic city of Penedo and other locations. The beautiful city of Maceio is an ideal base from which to explore other parts of Brazil. Our school helps students organise excursions to Sao Paolo, Rio de Janeiro and to the Amazon Rain Forest.
