Step Guide
We warmly welcome
you to our community!
Our admissions process begins in the fall prior to the desired year of attendance. If you would like to join during the current academic year, please contact us directly by EMAIL.
We would like to emphasize that our school is currently at full capacity, so being pre-registered does not guarantee admission.
1. Pre-Registration
We recommend reviewing our school policy and procedures before completing the pre-registration. Please send us an email with the student name, birth date and academic year: admissions@aprendizes.pt
2. School Tour & Meeting
We will contact you to arrange a meeting with members of the school team. If asked, we can arrange a school tour. The school tour takes about 1 hour and we encourage both parents/guardians and students to come visit our school. If the visit can’t take place, we will be happy to schedule an online interview.
3. Documents
Please send to admissions@aprendizes.pt, school reports from your child from past academic year and therapeutic reports (if any) in Portuguese or English. Through the admissions process, we might request additional documentation.
4. School Experience
Eventually, a school experience can be organised for your child to come join us for 1 or 2 days. Experiencing school is the best way to understand what it means to be a part of our community. If needed, to better identify possible needs for the student adaptation, an interview can be scheduled between the parents, homeroom teacher and/or a member of the multidisciplinary support team.
5. English Test (7th grade onwards)
For children who will enter directly into the Cambridge system, an English proficiency test is required. Lower secondary students who need additional language support can get assistance from school.
6. Confirmation of Admission, Payment & Registration
Accepted students/families will be notified by e-mail and then have 3 days to pay the annual, non-refundable, Registration Fee (per student) and a onetime Admission Fee (per student).
Your child is considered enrolled when the above fees have been received by the school on time. Availability of place cannot be guaranteed in case payments are not received on time, and other students may be admitted.

Fees and Payments
Monthly payment, school insurance and annual registration fee are mandatory. Extensions and extracurricular activities depend on the parents' needs.
The first sibling has a 10% discount and the second has a 20% discount on monthly fees.
The school opens at 8:00 am, and it is considered an extension from 5:00 pm until 6:00 pm. After 6:00 pm an additional fee of € 15.00 will be charged for each 15 minutes delay.
Invoices must be settled by the 5th of each month. After this date, an increase of 5% will be charged for each week, or fraction, in arrears.
The single admission, registration and re-enrolment fee are non-refundable, in particular in case of withdrawal.
Field trips are not included in the monthly fee. They will be previously informed to the parents, and if they happen, they will be charged on the following month invoice.
The amounts presented were calculated in annual terms and divided by 11 months according to the School Calendar proposed by the Ministry, so regardless of the number of days of classes in each month, all monthly fees will be paid in full.
