International School College Infanta D. Maria de Portugal has integrated the teaching of the national language and culture into their curriculum, with a department of dedicated and qualified English speakers faculty. Portuguese language lessons are now mandatory at the younger levels with children taking these classes divided into groups according to their linguistic skill level. This will increase the opportunity for those attending the school to leave it fully bi-lingual.
