Our Portuguese school is located in a touristic area on the border with the Spain. Our community receives influences of both cultures thus developing a multicultural approach towards newcomers and a general board worldview. Our school provides educational support to 30 small communities of varied background, from the urban seaside to more remote areas in the countryside. Apart from the mandatory levels, we offer courses for adults who are interested in finishing their education or improve/upgrade their skills. We have been working in the last years in a government project that aims to validate skills adults acquired throughout their lives and certify them with the correspondent level of education.
Our school (in need, group of schools) can offer you our various experience, since it concerns all Portuguese teaching levels since pre-school (4 to 6 years old) to high school (16 to 18 years old). We also have CQEP (that is recognition of Adult’s learnings through life experience), Adult’s Education and Professional Courses (including Practice Learning). These different approaches to teaching are available to our students at day time or after the day work time. Adding to this idea of various teaching levels, we are also a multicultural school, with many students from different European countries (and also few students from out of Europe).
We also offer educational solutions for students that want to get a specialization in some professional fields. Unfortunately, as it happens worldwide, we face situations of educational failure and school dropping out, mainly due to the lack of interest and participation of parents and families in the educational life of their children; students lack of perspective on the future; their non existing interest in school and the lack of study organization.
This project offers us a chance for our students to exchange knowledge and communicate with similar students who have a different reality and live in different cultures, which may motivate them and build up a new interest for school projects and for learning in general.
