Pre-school Education
Education in Portugal is regulated by the State through two ministries- the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education. There is a
system of Public Education and also many private schools at all levels of education.
Pre-school education is attended by children over 3 years old until they enter
the primary school (when they are 6)
It is not compulsory.

Most schools are organized from the first to the end of the ninth grade(6 to 15 year olds)
so as to have a connection between the different levels. They depend on the local
authority.
Some other schools, like ours, comprise the 3rd level of Basic
Education and the Secondary Education.
They depend on Central Authority.

other things.

• We also have professional courses, which offer a more practical curricula in areas such as Information Technology, Secretarial and Social Work. These areas may also allow them to go to University in case they do the National Exams and succeed.
• We also have the so-called CEF – courses in mechanic and electricity, areas that allow students who reveal “a certain resistance to school” to have access to their basic qualification.
• We value the relationship with the community and have already established several protocols to guarantee a place for students from the professional and CEF courses to start training.

There are evening lessons for adults who want to finish their secondary education.
This school is also responsible for the certification of adults who haven’t had the chance to accomplish their
basic studies.
This certification is accomplished
under the New Opportunities
National Programme,
which aims to reduce illiteracy
and increase the academic level of
the population.

This is a very multicultural school; there are students from several different countries, such as Iceland,
China, Cuba, Brazil, Ukrania, Moldavia, Venezuela and Luxemburg and from countries where the Portuguese
language is spoken.
We try to welcome everyone and give
them a special attention once the
school system has a special programme for those to whom
Portuguese is a second language.
