PAS offers Portuguese to all students from Grade 1 to Grade 12 and also Brazilian Social Studies ( BSS- History and Geography) to all students while they study all other classes. The school has a Language Support Department that offers instruction for Brazilian students as well as International ones who come from abroad and cannot speak Portuguese. This program includes individual classes or classes in small groups, with an additional in-class support until the student is able to follow the class independently. The Portuguese team has been building up teaching resources and investigating further ways and means of improvement.
PAS has a unique role in Porto Alegre giving children the opportunity to express themselves creatively in a bilingual environment. Adding to a multicultural faculty PAS provides an educational experience that encourages its students to “be international” while maintaining close ties with its Brazilian community. Effective collaboration and communication with families as partners in education of their children are essential for the success of our school. The implementation of the PYP Program has been promoting more integration between English and Portuguese giving teachers the opportunity to plan and work together. Our school strengths are around the spirit of a family who strive for enriching the dynamic environment that enables us to fulfill our Mission and goals. The values of respect, responsibility and honesty are taught throughout the school, enriched by the international perspective of a challenging education.
