Youth Classes

Our youth programs serve students ages 6–17, grouped by age and proficiency level. We offer two tracks based on language background:

PLH — Portuguese as a Heritage Language, for students who already speak Portuguese with some fluency
PLE — Portuguese as a Foreign Language, for students with no prior knowledge of Portuguese

Classes are offered in person on Saturdays and online during the week. The school year runs from October through mid-June.
