Successful completion of the intensive course entitles you to a Level or Attendance Certificate.

In-person courses

UP School Covilhã is always open to anyone who wants to learn a new language or certify a language I have spoken and written. The benefit of face-to-face classes is indisputable. The school environment is a privileged space for evolution for all students. There are many school and personal experiences that help shape personalities. Relationships with other classmates and school, direct contact with teachers and employees brings an important gain for the student. Childhood and adolescence is almost unthinkable without a face-to-face school. The UP School knows this.

 

We are witnesses of the smile of our students on this return. Hugs and the desire to be here. On the other hand, distance classes are here to stay and for us it is a peaceful point, parents themselves already request distance classes when their children cannot be present. We have 6th grade students who have been our student for 3 years and come to school only to take the quarterly exams. UP School values such experiences.


Homeschooling is a reality. There are many ways to study, choose your own. UP School gives this opportunity to everyone and is open to finding your way to effective and satisfying learning with you.
