IMMERSION COURSES
In order to speed up language acquisition, students may engage in an intensive program that consists of at least four hours a day and a maximum of eight hours a day. The program includes in-classroom and out-classroom activities with social gatherings and studies on cultural aspects of the countries where the target-language language is spoken.
FLEXICLASS
This is a program that allows total flexibilization of the schedule. Participants may choose the place, the time, the duration of the sessions and the amount of hours a week they want. The advantage is that the schedule may be changed anytime at the student´s convenience.

SPECIAL PURPOSES COURSES
Language training for hotel and restaurant staffs
We have contributed to the professional development of hotel and restaurant employees with classes in English, Spanish and French that focus specifically on their daily tasks. They learn how to communicate with customers and therefore are able to provide better services. Our students include staff of the following areas: management, housekeeping, reception, room service, restaurant (maitres, waiters, commis, bar tenders). We train them in their own working place using the tools of each specific area.
Sports
Having in mind the growing number of international athletes and people related to sports who visit Brazil every year and the 2007 Pan-American Games to be held in Rio, we have developed a special program for that purpose. We have experienced teachers involved in sports in general who are able to develop the students' specific needs. |
