Fun and interactive summer English courses. Where imaginations go wild
Our summer courses will let your child’s creativity and curiosity roam free, so they can express themselves with confidence that goes beyond their English language skills. Young learners will work on an exciting range of practical and challenging tasks that encourage them to explore new ideas and experiences that are different from the year-round courses and school.
Different modules to mix and match
This summer we offer a number of one-week modules. Each of them is an independent unit of study, so you can register your child for just one or for any combination of modules that suits your plans and budget.
Choose the centre closest to you: Lisbon (Escola Alemã de Lisboa), Parede (Colégio da Bafureira), Miraflores, Coimbra or Porto (Colégio Nossa Senhora de Lourdes).
