Portuguese Studies

In the Portuguese Studies, the Portuguese National Curriculum is adapted. CIV’s curriculum enables the development of cross-cutting and systemic cognitive and socio-affective skills, highlighted by:

Students of the Portuguese Studies sit National Examinations at the end of each key stage, allowing students to apply to university after completing their 12º ano national exam.  In the case of students who wish to attend foreign universities, the school provides support in the preparation for specific exams defined by such universities, and helps students with their application process.
