The Salesianos do Porto is a second home for our family where our children have been able to make friends from all over the world and where they feel safe and integrated. We thank the entire Salesian community for their interest and great welcome to our family!!!!

I am thankful for Salesianos because all the staff was very attentive to my children and helped them incredibly with the language barrier, communication and acceptance of the rules. They have made new friends, they already know how to speak Portuguese after only 10 months, and they love going to school.

Thank you so much to all the staff at the school.
Salesianos is a very good school because there are a lot of people that can speak both English and Portuguese. The staff always care about the students and try to help everyone that has difficulties. The teachers teach very well and the students understand the concepts very well and fast. The teachers know everyone’s personalities, so it makes school way better.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional support and warm welcome extended to my children by Salesianos College since I moved my kids to Portugal.

From the very beginning, it was evident that the school truly values and prioritizes the integration of new students. The genuine care and dedication shown by the teachers, staff, and fellow students have made my children feel right at home and the transition to new culture, language and new education system. The inclusive environment of Salesianos methodology undoubtedly contributed to their smooth transition and overall happiness in their new school. I have been thoroughly impressed by the efforts made by the school to ensure my children’s integration is seamless. The open lines of communication, the inclusive activities, and the encouragement for their participation in various events – despite language barrier and cultural transition – have all played a significant role in fostering a sense of belonging. It warms my heart to see how quickly my children have made friends and formed strong bonds within the school community.
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the teachers who have gone above and beyond in ensuring my children’s academic and emotional needs are met. Their expertise, patience, and passion for teaching have made a remarkable difference in their educational journey.
“Moving to Portugal as an English speaking person can be daunting, especially if your Portuguese is limited. After visiting various schools, we decided on Salesianos for a couple of reasons:

We were made so welcome when we made our first appointment and the warmth we received made us all feel immediately at ease.
The school welcomed T. to the summer camp where he made new friends. His first day at school was so much easier as he had already made friends at the camp and had a sense of the school ethos.
On arrival at school the teachers could not have been more welcoming and warmer in their effort to help him achieve his best.
As parents we feel the school has the best interests of the child at heart, and want to see them happy. This was cause enough to move to Portugal.”
“In general we are very happy with the school, the learning way, the curriculum. We appreciate all the efforts to support the multi-language parents and kids”
