Colégio do Vale innovates with the launch of a Bilingual Preschool and British Primary School
Colégio do Vale, a leading educational institution, is pleased to announce the launch of the Bilingual Preschool and the implementation of the British Primary School, two innovative initiatives coming to the Charneca da Caparica region.
Starting in the 2025/2026 school year, the Bilingual Preschool will provide full immersion in the English language, naturally and seamlessly combining Portuguese and English. This pedagogical approach aims to develop language skills from early childhood, preparing children to excel in areas such as math, science, and literacy by fostering their mental adaptability, problem-solving, and critical thinking. With this bilingual approach, we provide a welcoming and stimulating environment where play, learning, and growth occur harmoniously, preparing children for an increasingly global and interconnected world.
Simultaneously, Colégio do Vale will begin implementing the British Primary School, based on the Cambridge International Assessment British curriculum. This educational model focuses on excellence, fostering students’ academic, social, and emotional development. The program is personalized, encouraging inquiry-based learning and creativity while developing essential skills. The flexible curriculum allows each student to progress at their own pace, focusing on communication and confidence, preparing them for an international transition.
Bilingual students benefit from internationally recognized qualifications, which open doors to universities and careers worldwide, while fostering cultural awareness and global citizenship.
Forfar Education stands out for its experienced team, which understands the needs of schools to help them thrive, grow, and succeed in a constantly changing world. Their goal is to create inspiring schools that foster self-confidence and academic excellence.
These new initiatives represent an important milestone for Charneca da Caparica, reinforcing Colégio do Vale’s commitment to innovation and the holistic development of its students. The school continues to ensure a unique and excellent educational experience, providing high-quality education from Nursery to 9th grade, in Portuguese and now also in English.
