TESTIMONIALS


  • “The fact that we learn other languages besides Portuguese and English is excellent! The opportunity of interacting well with international students and teachers prepares us to deal with the culture shock when we move from one country, or even one continent, to another.”


    Philipp Eckert, finalista 2006

  • “CIV’s International environment was extremely important in my education. The fact that it is a well-respected school internationally, facilitated my application to Salford University. ”


    Rudi Fernandes, finalista 2006

    Adriana Correia, finalista 2006

Chess Club

Chess Club

Chess started at CIV in 1987/1988. At the end of the year, to the sound of the Bolero by Ravel, a chess tournament took place between two teams, with a simple board and in front of parents and students.  In the three years that followed, the international Chess Day was celebrated and gave rise to Chess Week.  The Chess Club complemented the other existing clubs (football, tennis, basketball, drama, …) in 1991/1992. The club started taking place regularly and the first Chess Championship was organised at CIV.  After a few years of being on pause, the Chess Club was once again initiated.  Chess is an activity that promotes cognitive skills, problem solving, tactical and critical thinking, defining strategies and making decisions.
