Learning English in a fun way

SMART LANGUAGE is a school that offers English classes according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), from the age of 4 onwards.(See qualifications grid below)

Our students learn English in a fun way, in the four main skills evaluated in the Cambridge exams : reading, writing, listening and speaking. (www.cambridgeenglish.org/pt/exams-and-tests)

Our goal is to help them use the language in a practical way, in order to improve their communication skills through a variety of activities. Classes are all taught in English and we encourage students to always communicate in English. Along these lines, students practise the language regularly which allows them to gain confidence from an early age.

Qualifications grid

Each level has well-defined aims which help our students become more confident in using English and creating good study habits.

The academic year runs from September to July. We guarantee around 80h annually for two 60-minute classes per week, and 130h annually for three 60-minute classes per week. These classes can take place over two days or on a single day (two or three consecutive hours).
